Swings and roundabouts

Feb 07, 2006 12:17

So my Rolls Royce application form said it was gonna time out on me, giving me a handy excuse to log out and bugger it for a wee while. Friday night was ace, far too ace actually, and on Saturday I woke up feeling like death's door and distraught at the thought of all those happy people partying on in Glasgow after I'm gone to Middle Englandshire. I actually felt like I had a come down.

Anyways, Hume is a wooly elitist bastard who thinks you can only tell if something's beautiful if you're smart and educated, and his argument is circular anyway. Kant was a bright old bastard, yes, but he couldn't write legible prose for toffee. Anyways, he thinks we can all tell what's beautiful cos we all have the same innate faculties, but he had crap taste in art. Hegel is a mightily conservative fool whose prose is even worse than Kant, so reading it feels like trying to chew through a boot sole. He reckons that we all have the right to seize any property we like and that the state is de facto right without qualification.

Environmental Ethics is fun, so much fun that I'm actually 2 weeks ahead of schedule on the reading. Yesterday I did a whole week's reading in 3 hours. Now that I like, considering that Hegel is taking me about 8 hours just to read his own damn book, nevermind anyone else's deciphering of it.

So, anyone got a clue why I want a job in HR? Not least why I want a job in HR in the marine power industry...

Roll on summer. I'll move to Derby jobless and desperate, but my boyfriend will be on 25 grand so it's all OK. Back in my mum's day 35 years ago, when my dad got his first graduate job he just asked if they'd employ his wife and they said alright. My mum suggested Mark does this... I told her she was living in the past. She took some convincing but eventually relented. But then, 35 years ago there weren't 700 graduates for every job either.
