Well, bollocks to that. I’ve done rather a lot so far this year. And there’s more to come. So there.
But what I haven’t done, for several years, is a job. I mean, a proper, salaried, where-do-you-see-yourself-in-five-years, office party, annual evaluation job job. I sort of miss it. Maybe I should have another go. Except that I’m crap at selling myself (or anything else, for that matter), so I’m rather in awe of people like this:

I cannot begin to list all the ways that office life is tedious, torturous and insipidly dull.
Don't do it.
What Boz said.
LS Lowrie isn't what he used to be.

p.s. ...more Moz here (eventually)...
wrood vicyvercifation: aterlesu - I don't find him as *salient* as Baudrillard, do you???
p.p.s. R.I.P. Mollster...(who'll stroke her pussy now, one wonders...??)
The ideal is two or three days a week in a regular job where you meet new people, enjoy stimulating conversation and have a laugh. Any more than that and it feels as if your life's ebbing away. The trouble is that it tends to be all or nothing.
I've gone from having no job to working my arse off five days a week and I can't say either extreme is what I want.
Boz/Billy: Yes, I know that. But there's something narcotically attractive about the tedium. The Zen of Office and all that. Not to mention the free paperclips.
I know, Rog. Y'know, the time is right for a Brian & Michael revival, I feel.
I like to think that Baudrillard died while working on an analysis of Mr Lucas's kipper ties, Mort.
That's why everyone wants to be a consultant, Steerforth. You just turn up at a client office as and when you feel. Probably when you need to get some photocopying done, or fancy some free, bad coffee.
"Mr Lucas's kipper tie."
If only old Jean B. was a Brummie, eh?*
Could you get any more post-modern than a Stan Collymore/Baudrillard/Are you being served mash-up gag??
I think not.**

*I'm assuming he's not a Brummie, obviously - but what do I know?? If Vieira signs for City, *anything* is possible...
**...therefore I *am* not...?
p.s. wrod vrecifivivisection: rerters - More an AP man meself...
p.p.s. The Spinster has been fleetingly glimpsed hereabouts of late - can't you start up a campaign to get her writing again Tim?
