Propounded imbroglio, sub rosa.


2004-09-14 - 10:17 a.m.


It's weird not working in an office anymore. I sort of miss looking at people and seeing what they are wearing and half-hearing conversations here and there. But on the otherhand, it's much less stressful. Human interaction is not as straightforward as people would have me believe! For example, people are always wanting something from me and they don't seem to be shy about using passive aggressive tactics to get what they want. Annoying.

It's a lovely rainy day today, perfect for staying inside, keeping warm and doing my work. If I can get my CV done today that would be good, too. I alwasy enjoy updating my CV, it makes me feel quite pleased with myself.

I watched "Bridget Jones's Diary" on TV last night. Scott was in an irritable mood and it was encroaching on my comfortable enjoyment of the movie. I had seen it before, though.

I spent some time with Di yesterday, we hung out in The Governor's coffee shop. It was really good to be in her company, to hear about her life and feel a part of it. I have been a bit isolated since finishing work at the Museum and I didn't really realise how much it was taking away from my life when I was there.

The books I am reading at the moment are:

Love in the Time of Cholera - Gabriel Garcia Marquez
An Instance of the Fingerpost - Iain Pears

Scott reads so much more than I do. I think it's because he is better at feeling comfortable about shutting out the world for a while. He can afford to be single minded. I always feel that I should be doing something else, but if I want to be a good writer then I should read as much as I can.
