Hmm, bit of a stressful week, what with one thing and another. I think we're about to go to war with the subeditors. Hooray for the weekend!
I should never go on the internet really. Now I'm actively aware that some people think the film of The Neverending Story is better than the book, and that makes me sad. Maybe you do too. If so, do me a favour and don't tell me about it? I'm tired of arguing. (Er, not about that, about some other things. There has been a huge debate raging all week about whether we should go to a meeting or not. We even had a meeting to discuss it. In the end, the decision was reached not to go to the meeting.)
Ok, I haven't actually seen the film and never intend to, but I don't care. The book is still better. So there.
When I feel fed up at work, I have a picture of a mole rising up out of the soil that I keep in a folder on my desktop, and I look at it and cheer up.* Other things that work - koala, skunk, hedgehog, armadillo, echidna. Rabbits, sometimes - the one in my icon is a case in point. I would want a pet mole, but moles really don't like being pets. Also, I don't really do pets. Plants cause me enough angst as it is.
I'm wondering whether to have proper dinner, but I can't be bothered really. This is most unusual for me. Dinner is generally the high point of my day.
I am going away now.
* I realise this is a badly-constructed sentence, but you should be aware that the picture is on my desktop, not the soil.
