I had a big long chat with my friend Katie the other day which lead to a very sensible conclusion about something I could do to make me really happy - find intelligent people to talk to. To which end she sent me to a marvellous website TED, which alas my computer is keeping up with like a slug trying to eat its way through a giant cactus.
The other way to find intelligent people is to wander off down to the uni and meet them, and it is this part that's stumping me. I have a negative amount of desire to enroll in university, but would be 100% in favour of going to classes for the heck of it. But even just going there and talking to random people would be good, and it's the issue of getting there that's on my mind. I can't work out how to pick mark up from work at times ranging from 2am-8am over various days of the week and still be able to hang out with uni people during daylight hours. At least not if I intend to be able to see Mark any time other than when he's sleeping.
It's a problem anyone in a relationship with a shift worker has to deal with, but I've managed to avoid dealing with it til now. Dealing with problems is something that happens to other people. My life is meant to be hassle-free, dammit!
