(no subject)
May. 21st, 2007 07:53 pmToday the garden is the most unbelievably beautiful, luxuriant green, but if that comes at the price of having glowering grey skies I'm not so big on it. It's the kind of weather that just makes you want to sleep continuously, and my sister played the Sims while I apparently snored ridiculously.
I need to go make cups of tea, I think.
I have four days left of my job and I'm really immensely glad. The job is marvellous, the people... not so much. One or two are grand, and my boss really tries so hard to be the best boss ever, but there's just not an atmosphere there that I like. Somehow people have got the idea that the way to get on is to spy on everyone else and stab 'em in the back, and I am perfectly capable of making the best use of my own time, thank you.
The highlight of my week has been reading 'The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat'. Oliver Sacks kind of reminds me of Bill Bryson in that he has a genuine honest fascination with his subjects and talks about them engagingly. It also amused me because I saw a couple of House plots in there, plus one bit which made me think about Neil Gaiman. This is the advantage of exam time, of course: I spend my time reading/invigilating, which actually means sitting for an hour and a half or so with a book in a quiet room. Nice, eh?
