this and that
I didn't mean to be quiet this week, but I spend all day on the computer at work, doing very repetitive data entry and stuff; makes it very hard to get on the computer once I'm home - plus Adam's been using it a lot lately, working on his photography and something to do with my birthday. He's being very secretive!
But I'm also annoyed because I really wanted to write my book reviews as I finished the books rather than have them pile up and waste nearly my entire weekend doing them. But I tried to write one on Monday night for Ten Thousand Lovers and I just couldn't concentrate. Plus it was eight-thirty and I hadn't even written a good first paragraph and I really just wanted to snuggle with Adam on the couch!
So I'm here now, but I don't have much to say. The job is okay - it's a pretty nice place, nice atmosphere, and the people I'm working with in the renewal team are friendly and interesting. There's a woman about my age who came from Finland in April to live with her boyfriend, a Swiss-Chinese-Canadian; a girl from a Sri Lankan family who has those beautiful henna patterns on the backs of her hands because she went to a cousin's big wedding last weekend; a girl with an Indian background who's obsessed with sport (the last thing I could possibly want to talk about, but she's sweet and funny and let's you tease her); and a guy who has a Masters in English who used to do temp work in the building as a cleaner! Yeah it's a sad job market out there. We have a few laughs and help each other and I don't think there'll be any problems.
See, very exciting stuff. To distract you from Shannon's life-inducing tedium, here's some recent cat shots Adam took (he tends to hog the camera - but then, he's better at it than I am so I don't mind all that much) - we've got Gaia, Cotton and Leon (Cotton actually has her claw stuck in her collar in her shot, while Leon slept through it all ha ha!).
Got a favourite cat portrait out of these?
Okay then *sigh* guess I better write those book reviews, then I have peanut butter and choc chip bikkies to make for Adam, his request. Hope everyone's having a lovely weekend :)
