Feeling Uninspired

BY ONEIKA RAYMOND

I’ve been feeling uninspired lately. I tend to think that it has to do with my return to work, 6 a.m. wake up calls, and pizza withdrawal.

Work has been kicking my butt, y’all. I didn’t really think I was jet-lagged until this weekend, when even the thought of the physical exertion needed to take my clothes to the laundromat 50 metres from my apartment gave me the heebee-jeebies.

Last week had me get off to a rough start (on the first day of school, I managed to write on the whiteboard in permanent marker… then proceeded to lose my cell phone on the same day, as I left it in the back of a taxi).

What’s more, a full teaching load this year and new technology to master at work is making me feel sad, as are waking up to grey Hong Kong skies that threaten (and deliver) torrential rainpour. Strong, wind-proof umbrella required.

On a positive note, I have found an apartment (many thanks to a friend of mine here who recently vacated her apartment and forwarded her landlord’s info, resulting in my new crash pad). I’ve finally gotten the internet in my apartment back, so I’m writing this post from my bed (please note that it is 6 p.m. on a Tuesday- I’m dog tired). I’ve also signed up for a 10K run here in Hong Kong (taking place in November). I’ve caught up with good friends and briefly graced the Hong Kong night scene with my presence and torn up the dancefloor this past weekend.

So life is kinda ok at the moment, though I’d must prefer to be gallavanting around Europe as I did for the last two months!

  • Oh, I would rather be gallavanting anywhere than working also. Good to hear you are finally settled and in a good apartment. Right now, the skies are grey on this end also so don't feel too bad.
    I gotta say that your lack of motivation reminds me of returning home from Germany….talk about dread. I was dragging my butt around for weeks and week. At least you have the 10k to look forward to.

  • Thanks for the kind words, Rhona. Day by day I am feeling more positive, but as you say, it is difficult to get back into the grind when you've been on vacay!

  • This is some useful stuff. It took me a while to unearth this web page but it was worth the time. I noticed this website was hidden in google and not the first spot. This site has a lot of good quality stuff and it does not deserve to be burried in the searches like that. By the way I am going to add this weblog to my favorites.

  • Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just your articles?

    I mean, what you say is fundamental and everything. However
    think of if you added some great photos or videos to
    give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and videos, this
    site could undeniably be one of the best in its field.
    Great blog!

    wondering which blog platform are you using for this site?

    if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

    so that thing is maintained over here.

  • I’m not sure exactly why but this web site is loading very slow for me. Is anyone else having this issue or is it a problem on my end? I’ll check back later on and see if the problem still exists.

  • I have been browsing online more than three hours today,
    yet I never found any interesting article like yours.
    It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all site owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the net will
    be a lot more useful than ever before.

    after I clicked submit my comment didn’t appear. Grrrr… well I’m not writing all
    that over again. Anyway, just wanted to say superb blog!

    Can you suggest a good hosting provider at a reasonable
    price? Thank you, I appreciate it!

    from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because
    of the costs. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using
    WordPress on several websites for about a year and am
    nervous about switching to another platform. I have heard
    great things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I
    can import all my wordpress content into it? Any help would be really appreciated!

    will come back sometime soon. I want to encourage one

  • I visited many web pages however the audio quality for audio songs existing at
    this web page is really excellent.

  • Asking questions are genuinely nice thing if you
    are not understanding anything completely, except this article gives nice understanding
    yet.

  • I have been browsing online more than three hours nowadays, yet I by no means found any
    attention-grabbing article like yours. It is beautiful value sufficient for me.
    Personally, if all webmasters and bloggers made
    excellent content as you probably did, the internet can be a lot more helpful than ever before.
