Can we have a little more "Aaarrrggghhhh!!" from the baritones, please?
It is nearly 10 am and I am not at all in the mood to tackle any of the stuff still on my plate. Experience dating back to the 7th grade tells me, though, that if I force myself to get to work, that my reluctance will fade as the work gets done, and that it'll take about 20 minutes for that to happen.
What was it in 7th grade that taught me this lesson? French homework. Had my mother not "supervised" its performance so closely (she sat there and watched me do it, drilling me from time to time), I most certainly would not have done it, or done it in a most unworkmanlike manner.
In any event, I got to where I didn't mind the French homework so much, but I never did better than Bs and Cs in French, until high school, where I steadied out with various levels of B grades and a couple of A-minus grades in senior year. (I suppose if you throw enough rice against the wall, some of it will eventually stick!)
Of course, other life experience reminds me that I will very easily slip into doing something else (such as updating my LJ) rather than get down to work, so... I think I'll bring this post to a close for now.
Let's see, first document: a three-page extract from a specification on "ткани технические полиамидные" (industrial grade polyamide fabric).
It doesn't get much better than this, folks!
Cheers...
