A Dozen Chinese Proverbs
Comments: 4
December this year seems more hectic than most. There’s always that wanting to wrap things up so as not to take any work into the new year, but I can tell you right now, that’s not going to happen. It’s becoming a matter of how selective I can be with what gets pulled into ‘04….
I was talking to a friend (who last New Year’s fed me duck with a caramelised raspberry and creme de cassis sauce — I will never forget that duck) and he said I mustn’t take any work into the new year because of that old Chinese proverb (which neither of us could remember).
Mate, I replied, there are about a dozen Chinese proverbs that apply to me at the moment and I’m in flagrant violation of every one of ‘em.

By the way, what is that a picture of (the hexagonal thing)? Is it origami?

It’s a kite (although I don’t think this one’s felt the wind in quite some time).

But wait! If it’s a Chinese proverb, I guess you have until the Chinese new year to get your work done… there’s still hope.

Kevin —- you may have just provided me with the loophole I need! Very good thinking.
