escapism
Posted Jul 26, 1999
I find these blank text boxes somewhat intimidating. They aren't very conducive to great thought, always presupposing I am capable of even micro-seconds of great thought. We all are though. The big problem is that we are mostly unaware of those moments.
Anyway, I can go home now so I will (hopefully) return to this site at a later date and actually say something.
Well...maybe.

A good book
Posted Jun 3, 1999
Tim Winton's "Cloudstreet" is beautiful, sentimental, full of a sense of place and time. I'm often drawn in by an author who so obviously cares about his characters, and cares enough to let them live fictionally real lives. And it's funny.

Food
Posted May 26, 1999
Roasted red capsicums are one of the most delicious foods I've ever discovered. My favourite way of eating them...roast three red and/or yellow capsicums, peel and chop them. Put pasta of your choice on to boil. Saute some crushed garlic in olive oil until nicely golden or you get bored, whichever comes first. Mix in the capsicum and the collected juices of the capsicum and warm through. Add flaked tuna, grated rind of one lemon, chopped coriander and two or three teaspoons of capers. Mix through pasta when it's cooked.
Really my favourite recipe.

Working...
Posted May 18, 1999
I think the vital ambission gene was left out of my makeup. My boss came in this morning extremely stressed...this had gone wrong, that had not been finished. Most of her problems had been created by the unreliability of other people, true, but she'd have been in a state anyway given what she has been expected to achieve over the last few weeks. And I can't help but think that she is nowhere near paid enough. Now I'd like more money. I'm sure all but the truly saintly want more money. But I know, right now, I'm not prepared to do anything to get it. Job satisfaction is more important to me. Getting into a state over work...it's just not for me. I can't decide whether I'm deficient in some vitally important trait necessary for true success in this life...or I've really discovered how I want to live my life, what's important to me, and i should just get on with it and stop feeling like I have to appologise. In other words, i should just "get over it".

Discussions at work
Posted May 10, 1999
Have you ever wondered what women really discuss at work? Yesterday we went from analysing a colleagues performance in an interview to the difficulties of doing up a body suit when you're drunk. Or when the toilet stall is small and insufficiently lit. You lean over and when that vertigo hits...it can be nasty. Occasionally you just have to go by feel, and then you're friends wonder where you disappeared to for so long. Actually a comfortable piece of clothing once it's on, but there are technical difficulties to be considered. It could be a useful sobriety test.
