Memory Lane
Yesterday evening, after a tiring day, I was walking from the station back to work (where my car was). I suddenly realised that that was the very first walk I had ever walked in Derby, when I came for my first job interview here (actually for my first job interview anywhere). That thought made me feel suddenly old...that was over 2 years ago now, and the person I was then seems very distant in so many ways. And many of the changes don't feel like they've been for the better.
So there I was, moping along, feeling miles distant from the me that had first walked these pavements, when I turned the corner and there - Bob Minion motorcycles. And I remembered seeing it, that first day. And laughing then. And posting about it on the board. And it still makes me grin every time I see it. And in fact it made me laugh very hard when I saw it yesterday, as it made me realise how stupid I was being and how the world is all one place. I have no grounds whatsoever for feeling as trapped as I do...the decisions are completely in my hands.
Plus, Bob Minion. It's just funny.
So yay for internet permanence, oxymoronic as that sounds.

Who are you calling moronic?
I actually saw a road called Memory Lane on Sunday. I asked MR whether she wanted a wander but she had left her rose-tinted glasses at home.
Who are you calling moronic?
Clearly not you.
A minion such as I would never dare say such a thing.
The Board is, indeed, one of those wonderful and rare constants in life. As long as we don't have recurrences of the ezDude, that is... hmph.
But yes. It's nice when things that are just always there can provide perspective in life. I like such solid, unchanging things that provide support, whatever they may be.
Time flies.
Do you not enjoy your job or is it that you would just like the chance to try other things?
Ah...blah. I am just unreasonable and want a job where they pay me to sit around thinking about fictional characters and writing emails.
Or rather where they intend to pay me for that. :)
And yeah, I do want the chance to try other things. But there's plenty of time for a whole lot of other things. No reason to wreck now by wanting things I can't have.
Yup _ I could easily make a full time career out of watching tv, reading, and just being entertained in general.
I don't think i could. I would feel much too "culprit" of doing nothing with my life and think how useless i am and then depress and just wondered why i was born at all.
So, a good, healthy job is something necessary for me to keep my... sanity. (If i ever had one).
"Or rather where they intend to pay me for that. :)"
Heh.
That made me laugh.
