Impossible 🙂
Click to viewI won't be sad to eventually leave the admin post probably later on this year, but I don't see that happening as yet. In May, the full grad season will be upon us, with even more previous years' ceremonies taking place. Work is variable - on Monday mornings, there are pages and pages of orders; during the week, barely enough to see me through the mornings. I must learn NOT to be seen skipping with a certain amount of glee out of the office around noon and into the factory (aka the Hen House), because it would make it seem that I'm not fond of/happy in my admin job. Well, I'm not, but it does bring in the cash and they don't need to know that I despise office life.
I never thought I'd say this, given how fricken busy and agitated it gets in Nov-Dec in the Hen House, but right now, it is like Narnia in there. Probably about 12 of us max just listening to music and packing. I am off in my own world, fleshing out characters, making seemingly dull places vibrant. An alternative life, where I'm somewhere and someone very different, creating art or writing. Other characters are a mish-mash of people I already know, the places a hybrid, too.
Or maybe I just listen to interesting history podcasts, or novels on Audible. It's bliss, you are left alone, you can pop out of that world to have a wee chat, then disappear back inside your head again, packing pix away like a good little automaton, but inside, you're free.
We all need that, don't we? A place inside to escape...🙂
