Personal faults

Last I saw, niq was trying to make this a new meme, so here's my contribution:
  1. I'm lazy. I have a chronic aversion to work (defined as "doing what I'm paid for"). In my defence, this wasn't the case when I had a job that interested me; but then, I haven't really gone out of my way to find such a job (my research suggests they are very few and far between). My present employer sees laziness as a positive character trait: "Lazy people are efficient, they're good at identifying what really needs to be done", he says.
  2. I'm arrogant. I think I earn "about enough", and I'm impatient of those who want to earn vastly more - more than about three times what I make. I think most of the economic misery in the world today can be laid at the door of ambitious people.
Phew. That was hard to do. If anyone connects my real name to this blog, this entry will probably disappear...

If you read my maiden blog you will see that I don't disagree. I am at It's taken me the best part of a full night's hard work to do. I think that naming 2 of my own was the hardest.
