March marches on

How the time goes by so fast. March already, and soon it’s April. I’ve been busy with career coaching, so I haven’t had the time to blog. We have 2-week on-the-job learning at the moment where you familiarize yourself with a job. I didn’t get any, so I stayed at my dad’s business. He’s a goldsmith. I tried to get to at least five places, but they couldn’t take anyone. I didn’t get any the last time I went to a career coaching. It could make me feel I’m not even qualified for free work. But I won’t take it personally. Many are still working from home. So there was no supervisor to show me the ropes. One week is left, and then the course continues for another week. The course has been on Teams, so it will be the first time we meet face to face. The March marches on in this spirit of things.

I don’t packrat educations. In every subject I’ve studied, there has always been something worthwhile. Some people might think I’m too indecisive and see it negatively. It’s better to know about many things, instead of just one. I only see it as an advantage. You should learn things that you like and not what others want you to. Learning should be fun and not something you need to do. The biggest problem is that I think I’m OK with the things I know how to do, but I don’t think I’m good enough. Maybe good enough to have something as a hobby, but not when it comes to working. Even experts have new things to learn, so you can improve in whatever you do. It doesn’t matter at what level you are. There is no such thing as perfect. As long as you like what you’re doing and be as good as possible. On the career coaching course, we concentrate on the positive things. Things that you are good at. That’s what you should do with everything in life. Some are good at this, and some are good at that. If there are things you don’t know, you should learn. Or just let someone who does know how to do them.

Top 5 songs with the title People in them

Here is a list of songs with the word ‘people‘ in them. If you think about it, there are a few. But here is 5 of them with links from Youtube. They are not in order. There is also my favourite lyrics from the songs.

Star People – George Michael

“Maybe your mama gave you up, boy
(It’s the same old same old)
Maybe your daddy didn’t love you enough, girl”

People are strange – The doors

“People are strange when you’re a stranger
Faces look ugly when you’re alone
Women seem wicked when you’re unwanted
Streets are uneven when you’re down”

Shiny happy People – R.E.M

“Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy people laughing”

Voodoo People – The Prodigy

“The Voodoo, who do
What you don’t dare do, people”

People Are People – Depeche Mode

“So we’re different colours and we’re different creeds
And different people have different needs
It’s obvious you hate me though I’ve done nothing wrong
I’ve never even met you, so what could I have done”

The purdy little things

“Purdy as in pretty because it’s slang.”

I like using words that sound similar. As is this purdy word. It’s a thang (thing) with slang.

It’s those purdy little things that make the world a better place. We all need something pretty when the place is grey.

I won’t use more colour on this post, even it looks purdy. It was just something I wanted to try. If you don’t try, you never know how things work. It’s been a busy week, so this post is short. This will be a weekend that will feel like a real one. Other times it would just be one day among the others. It’s been early morning from Monday to Friday. I will sleep longer this weekend.

Leave you with this photo I took with my mobile from my balcony. This is what it looked like at 7.38 am one morning this week.
