    Who
    My name's Anita Wirawan and I love stories :).

    I read/watch a lot of stories and like to share the most interesting and unusual ones here to see what everyone else thinks about them.

    Why
    I had originally started this blog as a way to get things together after my brother Jody died back in 2008, but it's turned into a lot more than that.

    I hope you'll find the stories that you need here.

Herding cats?

Tuesday, Aug 17th, 2010 by Anita

I love how sometimes it only takes a couple of words to conjure up an entire story in your mind. I was lazily browsing through blogs tonight and came across a saying I’d never seen before: herding cats.

Herding cats means having to do something that’s ‘extremely difficult or impossible to do, due to one or more variables being in flux and uncontrollable’.

But really there isn’t much need for a formal definition is there? Just reading the two words herding cats instantly creates in your mind images of some exasperated person trying to herd a bunch of crazy meowing cats going all over the place. And we all know that story does not end well lol.
