BUSY

It’s trendy to be busy. Busy busy busy.

Everybody is busy. At least everybody we know. Busy with work. They're way too caught up in projects and stuff. Whether they're friends, business partners or just people in the hall. They’re doing their bits to keep society up and running. Sounds awfully boring.

So we pretend to be busy as well. We avoid blogging. Because trendy people with blogs and jobs – they don’t blog when they work on a big project to gazillions of whatever currency they bill their customers.

That’s why we’ve been quiet for days. Days and days. A week, in fact. Just to let everybody believe that we’re as trendy as the next person and we just don’t have time to update y’all on what goes on in our busy lives.

CodeCruncherGirl is busy with her own company. It’s a fast growing business and when she goes,
I don’t like this or that
people go
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
and then she usually gets her way. She’s the coolest cat and she’s a mean negotiator. You don’t want to get in her way. For a size 0 she’s very intimidating. In a very nice way when you’re not at the receiving end. We like her for her morbid sense of humour and amazing skills to assemble itsy-bitsy tiny stuff. And whichever model that LEGO puts on the market.

TravellingChick is also extremely busy with waving goodbye to business partners, co-workers and friends. She used to be TheBookKeeperGirl, but recently she changed her name. In less than a month she’ll start her 9 months world tour that’ll take her to exotic places far away from us and she’s promised that she won’t send us one single postcard. That’s how much she loves us. She’ll keep us posted on her personalised blog – we’ll link to that when she gets it up and running. Should be a lot of fun to hear about the Galapagos Islands for a start. We’ll insist on seeing pictures. Just in case she’s fooling us all and is staying home in hiding for 9 months.

We’re not going anywhere, though. We’re staying put. And we don’t have a successful company that demands all our attention. Heck, we’re not even going away on holiday this year.

UniCorn: Because we’re broke.
FridayNext: And this time it’s not back.
UniCorn: Mah hah – that’s a very old joke now.
FridayNext: Oh, zorry. So you’re saying that I’m recycling my jokes now?
UniCorn: A bit touchy today, are we?
FridayNext: I want to be busy as well.
UniCorn: Doing what?
FridayNext: Dunno. Something exciting.
UniCorn: Hey, great idea ahoy!
FridayNext: *snort* Where is that?
UniCorn: Right here, under our very own noses!
FridayNext: ????????????????
UniCorn: All successful people have…
FridayNext: What? Lost their marbles?
UniCorn: Come on! Work with me here! They have their own…come on!
FridayNext: You’re driving me nuts! Just say it!
UniCorn: Cooking programme! On telly. They either design crap houses or cook food.
FridayNext: Right, bedtime for you, I think.
UniCorn: So what we should do is something about cooking. Here.
FridayNext: You and me – in an imaginary kitchen?
UniCorn: Y’know what? Perhaps J-Man and Ace like…
FridayNext: God yeah, they eat food! Oh, oh! Way hey, I’m so in. What are we going to cook?
UniCorn: I’ll reveal all tomorrow.
FridayNext: But….
UniCorn: TOMORROW!
FridayNext: Shesh…

So tomorrow, it’s time to find your pots and pans and lots of butter…

UniCorn: NO BUTTER.
FridayNext: So we’re being healthy now?
UniCorn: Let’s at least fake it for now, alright?
FridayNext: Alrighty then, hon.

More to come…
