| Cheerful Chinese Zodiac |
Contrary
to the very happy pictures above, I am not, happy that is. Here is the story.
I opened
my 2015 diary received ,most gratefully, from one of our clients. They had a very clever
idea. The diary is more like a series of pages that you can date
yourself and are called Plan& Memo pages. I am one of those people that for
the most part likes to follow rules. Logic and order make me feel safe and comfortable.
I reserve my anarchic tendencies to my thoughts were they can run riot without
offence or harm. I cannot, simply cannot, write on a page in a diary that is
not the date that is printed on the page. I have been known to take a deep
breath and record something on the wrong page but it hurts a bit. Nowadays with
Microsoft outlook and smart phones we really do not need a proper diary. Which
leaves companies that give out promotional diaries at the end of a year in a
bit of a quandary and all those stationery sellers miserable over their sad end
of year sales. So this idea is brilliant. And I do rather like it. Except for
one thing. You know how in diaries you get pages of useless information like
birthstones, wedding anniversaries, Clothing sizes and astrological signs. In
my "diary" they also have Chinese Animal Years. "Hummmm"
thought I "I wonder what animal I am." My life is full of deep
thinking about important matters. I peruse the list of years. My year is not on
the list. I have reached an age where my year is not worthy of being in print.
So my dear people if you were born before 1969 you are not recorded. It is a
sad day for me. I have reached the age of not being worthy of consideration in
a diary.
