Shut up aleady!

Back at work again and feel like shit, I am ready to go home for a sleep. I think I will only work till lunchtime.

I did read something interesting on the weekend in Vanity Fair mag, this Über smart New Yorker, you know Rhodes Scholar at 11 or something close, says that he never speaks about anything socially or professionally that is not about his area of expertise. I like this idea, I have lots to say about crap that I know nothing about, kind of like this blog really!

But really, is there nothing worse than being forced to sit next to a bore at a dinner party who claims to be an expert on everything? I watched a documentary on psychopaths recently and an expert on social behaviors said that social psychopaths are those who can discuss lots of things but without much depth. They know amazing amount of surface facts but are not really masters of anything. I actually know a few people like this and yes, when I think about it they are slightly unhinged, not that I am expert or anything. Maybe I am one of them?

Realisation: I know pretty much nothing about everything, so I guess will be the mute at any dinner party from now on. Make a pleasant change. As a Taurean I struggle with knowing the BEST places for everything. If someone wants a facial, hairdresser, pair of shoes, obstetrician then I am your girl! I really think I know the best of everything and I am not afraid to tell people what they "should" do. Man, I want to slap myself sometimes.
New plan: Only offer information, help and advice if actually asked. Ask and I will help, but otherwise I am keeping my trap shut!
For those who know me, I am sure they are reading this and falling of their chairs and wiping the tears from their eyes but I am serious. I am fighting Ego and Taurus nature but this is my test and I am working on it!







To my friends, you can stop laughing now!
