This used to be my ringtone many years ago when I was obsessed with Muse. It used to frighten all the OAPs on the bus in the mornings on my way to work.

I can come up with some very groovy 60s inspired artwork.

My last name stems from the Polish word for some fish. It sounds almost like the name of this fish (minus one letter at the end, it lacks).

I can be a bit of an attention whore sometimes. I apologize for all the polls that I've made.

Let's see...

I do well with 'just do it'.
So sheer number size and number of tasks without hesitation isn't the problem for me.


Yet I do not do well with 'when to do it', 'how to do it', 'where to do it'... Without any explicit saying.
How to prioritize, how to organize, how to regulate, how fast or slow, how to do it in a particular way, when it's finished or when to stop without a prompt.

A lot of my mental roadblocks IS lack of information, or unable to recall any, or knowing which is relevant to make a decent decision.

Oh, I'm willing to dive with risks, experiment, improvise, even fail, running without preparation or complete information...

But do it smartly? Not necessarily.
With intended results?? Not likely and that's what frustrates me, so I'd better do it alone where I myself only pays the price.

And if someone's involved -- especially if this someone pays for my failure?? I best stay away, hold back, and not decide especially if it's for them.


I can work hard.
But work smart? What if I'm not allowed or unable to??


Oh and...
I live in a country where people are not usually paid in an hourly rate, and I'm one of them.
And I work about 8-10 hours a day, 5-6 days a week.

I accept your apology, SGT Cockney Rebel.

Anyway about myself, I enjoy a good game of volleyball or badminton, but if not table tennis.

I can’t sing worth a pair of dingo’s kidneys :lol: I have practically no vocal range.

Coffee detaches me from my reality.

I've had a photo taken with the legendary director Nicolas Roeg. It was at an exhibition and he asked me to stand next to him for a photo. 8)

I'm the most sensitive person here and it hurts me to admit that.

Nicolas Roeg eh? I liked "The man who fell to earth" with Bowie. Got the film saved on the Humax box.
