Today's been a good day and a bad day.
Good day: I had a meeting with someone who does a vaguely equivalent job to mine in another organisation and got all inspired about ways I could do my job better and things I could do.
Bad day: Lots of the things I could do involve doing scary things I don't like, like networking and phoning people up and there's only little old me to do them. This is probably why I've achieved nothing since I got back from the meeting and feel all worn out and daunted by the whole thing again.
Other news: This is now the longest lasting job I've had. Which ought to be celebrated in some way.
This is my least favourite time of year because I have to get up in the dark, go home in the dark and generally never see my home in the daylight during the week. It's also a fun time of year because it's nearly Christmas.
I'm going to a party on Saturday and the theme is 'The Twelve Days of Christmas'. Any ideas what I should dress up as? Preferably something easy and non-embarassing. If I had unlimited time, money and bravery I'd make something like Bjork's swan dress (scroll down), but in the real world, that's never going to work. Might manage a swan beak I suppose. Or borrow a recorder, convince lots of other people to find recorders so we can be 10 pipers piping.
*It's a cryptic crossword clue. See if you can answer it in the comments.
Dido!
ReplyDeleteYou could tie lots of puppet lords to the inside of your arms so that they leap up and down when you move them. Or! You could go as a pear tree!
Yes Dido. I worked it out on my own too.
ReplyDeleteWell done, both of you.
ReplyDeleteNayf, what's up with your blog? I keep getting an 'Internal Server Error'. I like the puppet Lords idea. If I had a huge amunt of time, felt and pipe cleaners, maybe.
I could just drag the pear tree out of next door's garden.
wooden spoons make good puppets.
ReplyDeletethink i left it too late with my comment though.
