Well I've come in this morning and don't feel very well. Bit sniffly, eyes droopy. Dreamt last night that I was pregnant and had to stuff my stomach full of hard stuff via a tube to get rid of it. Really disturbing. Especially because I had unprotected sex at the weekend. Idiot. No, it's not even idiotic, it's fucking stupid, on the level of say, an amoeba. An amoeba with no body. That's how fucking stupid. I am constantly amazed at my capacity not to learn. Just want to go to bed, cannot be bothered with clients today, they're all wankers the lot of them, I don't have time in my life to pander to their inconsequential psychosis. Bah. (Sulk) Sniff. Etc.

I'd like to trade the perceived speed of the first hour at work for the last hour...that first hour always goes by so fast for some reason...and that last hour moves sooo very slowly....that way I feel I get more done in that first hour at work and the wait to go home won't be so agonizing...

I've been thinking about the following for eight hours non-stop.
An ex work colleagues distant relatives friends son is in a vegetative state after a horrific accident. The mother hears I collect records and offers me her son's collection of about 400 albums for $400 Aud. I go look. There are entire sets of Zeppelin, Floyd, Deep purple, Beatles, Presley etc. It's immediately obvious this kid knew his collectibles and his mother has no clue.
I know I could easily get $500 just for the Floyd section alone so the temptation is overwhelming and to be perfectly honest it's only the thought of being discovered that's prevented me from snapping them up already.
The parents do not need the money and I no longer have to work with the facilitator of the deal.
Any thoughts.

I heard a news blurb this morning that a man bought a suitcase in an auction that contained unreleased Beatle albums, manuscripts, ets. It seems the original owner (now deceased) was an original roadie for the Beatles an the suitcase was crammed full of memorobilia. If you had bought it, would you try to return it to the estate's heirs because you felt guilty? I dont think so.
Thank your Guardian angel and make the deal (especially if the collection has the Pressley Christmas album pressed in red vinyl; it's extremely rare and worth about 100,000. USD).

Of course, there is always the "flip side":

"Little Johnny woke up and I need to buy the albums back".
