elusivekToday's just started off all wrong. I like to spend my 10-15 minute walk from home to work mentally preparing for the day. If that means listening to music, podcast, or just no earphones but a quiet walk, and that's it. I need my "alone-time" morning walk.
Today I had earphones on but them being in noise cancelling mode was an accident. I do like the noise cancelling mode but I also know that out in the streets with traffic and all that I shouldn't have it on. But honestly, this morning, it was by accident. I probably turned it on by tapping on either the left or the right pod, but anyway, the how isn't important.
So I was happily in my own world waiting at a red light when someone taps me on my back - I hate it. And it's a colleague from the office. Outwards I'm all smiles and good morning and putting the earphones away and then noticing apparently I had the noise cancelling on and all that. Deep down I was all like... leave me alone, this is my mental preparation time, stop talking to meeeeee!
In the office they're chatty and noisy already, I don't need that energy before my actual work day starts! I've brewed some tea in hopes of that lifting my mood but no, nada, not helping. Gawds, I'm such an introvert.
Guess I'll just stick those earphones in my ear again and I'll continue with my online courses. I've finished one module already, and I'm now on Economics. I hated economics in high school. I was hoping I would get a better understanding now, but it would seem I still hate it. I know the terminology, GDP, imports, exports, opportunity costs, and all that, but it's the same thing with high school all over again. The terminology is defined, but then the question is asking about something else entirely. Much like those running jokes about algebra or something, where, if I have 5 apples, and you have 10 oranges, so If I give you 2 apples, then how fast is the car going and when is the purple monster in the UFO going to land. That sort of thing. I suppose, Economics shall continue to be the bane of my existence.
