Addictions

I fruitfully spent a day without having coffee (and without sleeping too :) ) at 3 PM!!! Cool, it makes me feel good.

Few days back, I read an article in Pune Times about ‘addictions in disguise’. I decided to think about it. Is there a thing in your purse, which if missing, makes you feel uncomfortable? Yes, there is… it’s the lip balm that I use. I started using it in the winter and never realized that I kept using it all through summer. Okay! I’ll stop using it until I get used to not-using it. Now after deciding this, I have stopped the habit since few days. It has made my lips look a little blackish, leading to some suspicious eyes asking “have u started smoking lately?” LOL

New term

I was looking for a site that would give me one word for set of words that I enter. Remember the way we used to have in school…. ‘Enter one word for following’ :)

Though I didn't get what I wanted, coincidently I came across an interesting phrase…
layoff lust (LAY.off lust) n. The strong desire to be laid off from one's job.
A new term has entered the language: "layoff lust," the sudden desire to be sent away with a severance package, providing time at last to search for meaning and cultivate the soul.

Uh huh… Sometimes so true!
