books and things
I finished reading the His Dark Materials trilogy today.
I am beyond shocked that the crazy book banning people are not all over this. It's about killing God! I mean, whatever, that's fine, but I just thought I was reading a fantasy novel at first.
It may just be that I am locked in picky picky world, but I don't like the way it's written. I don't like all the jumping, how the perspective is sometimes totally omniscient and sometimes not, and let's not get started on the 12 year olds who suddenly decide that they're ~ soul mates ~. Still, it was interesting and it passed the time.
For a while, I don't think I'll have this kind of continued downtime at work anymore.
Today at work, I discovered that I made a mistake. Which, in my defense, is not totally my fault because everyone is off taking their summer vacations so I can't really ask questions and people thrust random things at me with no context and no deadline. Still, I did not do everything I could to make sure that an email that needed to get out did so in a timely manner. I hope no one is on my ass about this on Monday.
Ahhh, it just makes me mad that people are getting snippy at me for not doing things that I had no idea I was supposed to do. I don't fucking read minds, yeah?
Part of this is the inability to transmit tone via email and my tendency to take Japanese honorifics in a passive aggressive light.
Whatever. Moving on!
I am going to go buy more clothes this weekend. I hope I can find nice fall stuff. :/
