Monday blues
It's actually been a good day today. But tomorrow I am going to the office for the first time since March and I am having a bit of a thing about it. It's very optional and doesn't mean I'm going back long term, even occasionally, but I do feel stressed. Lots of procedures, and public transport. And I have to get up super early to get in ahead of rush hour. (I could go in late, most people do, but I actually have a lot of work to do, which is a bit of a problem...)
18 Write the words that you need to hear today.
Go to bed.
19 If you had to be obsessed with money, sex, sports, religion or food, which one would you choose?
Oh, food thanks. That or sport, but people seem so stressed about sport a lot of the time. Most people's teams/faves lose most of the time, on average. Obsession with money is a great way to miss out on what life is about; obsession with sex is very much why 14 year olds don't rule the world; and *obsession* with religion just seems scary to me.
Obsession with anything is pretty scary tbh but at least if you're obsessed with food you can do something constructive about it, on a regular basis, that would need to be done anyway. I do think being super foodie can go in some very negative (and expensive) ways, but having it as a hobby has been one of the better sides of lockdown.
20 What do you love most about yourself?
21 Ignoring all financial considerations, would you rather spend the next 5 years confined to an urban mecca (e.g. New York City, London, etc) or a beautiful, isolated coastal town somewhere?
22 How would you react if you learned that a sad and beautiful poem that touched you deeply had been written by a computer?
23 What is a character trait you despise in others, but you know you also have that same trait?
24 What is the most serious law you've broken doing something you thought was morally right, wouldn't hurt anyone, or was no one's business but yours? How bad would the punishment have been if you'd been caught and given the maximum sentence?
25 If you were on a jury, would you be willing to convict a person for something you didn't think should be considered a crime?
26 If your heart were damaged beyond repair, but you could regain your health for a few more years by getting a heart transplant from a genetically engineered pig, would you?
27 What is your favorite question to ask people?
28 What stage play is your favorite?
29 For $100,000 (or equivalent in your currency) would you put on 40 pounds/18 kg and keep it on for 3 years? How much money, if any, would induce you to put on 100 pounds/45 kg for at least a year?
30 If you were president/prime minister/supreme leader etc. of your country, what is the first thing you would do?
31 What’s the scariest movie you’ve ever seen?
