Where's Thursday? It's here.

Too busy in here. Need to complete a job application for a position that I really want. Would secure my future for the next number of years if I manage it.

I have a job for life as well, which is a bloody bizarre thought.

Aren’t you in a bookshop (pretty sure that’s underselling it)? Is it just venerable enough to not be submitted to the usual market whims for that sort of place?

Nosy nosy

Last day on the job in Mississippi, working the morning then driving two hours to the smallest airport know to man. Flying home later tonight at least. Get me the hell out of here. Tomorrow off at least. :+1:

In better news last night I found all my birthday money in a drawer, I thought I’d spent it! :money_mouth_face::money_mouth_face::money_mouth_face:

Slightly off topic (yesterday stuff), went to see Paul Mason last night at Guardian offices, that was pretty good. Now I want to read his new book about how we can build a socialist utopia, fight the creeping rise of fascism, mitigate the threat of a machine-based super-intelligence, block the emergence of digital feudal system and stop posthumanist philosophy being used as a Trojan horse that facilitates human subservience to technology.

Back on the topic of today, someone at work irked me by not only sending me a calendar appointment to remind me to send my weekly report to him (irk factor 7/10), but then followed it up 2hrs before the deadline with a ‘friendly’ IM to check I was “still OK to send the report by midday” (irk factor 11).

I’m on hold for a conference call and the hold music is some Coldplay track (you know, the one with the bassline plodding along on the root in 4/4, and there’s a piano and allegedly a guitar somewhere), so I’ve got that in one ear and 808s and Heartbreak in the other, and let me tell you: that collaboration would not work AT ALL.

We take more drugs than a touring funk band SING IT

I zoned out of my call for a couple of minutes and now there’s a vigorous discussion about horses, for some reason.
