Right now I’m attempting to do some editing on a couple of short stories but made a silly mistake of putting on Time Team. I don’t get to watch it much and it is very distracting. I love this show, it incorporates everything I love about archaeology, and makes me wish that I could make a trip over there and do some digging myself. It also makes me think that if I had my time all over again I would defiantly do some type of an ‘ology subject and/or history as well as writing. I like ‘ology subjects.
I’m very excited. Tomorrow is my last day in my current position before I start in another position in another section. This new position involves everything I like about my work and the people are nice, some I have known for a few years. What I am most excited about however is I get to help design and play with a new program. Much geeky happiness will be happening soon. As much as I hate to admit it, nothing gets me so excited at work the chance to play with and learn a whole new program or application, except maybe to train people in how to use it. On Friday we are planning on going to the poetry slam at the street theatre. Seems a lot of people we know go to this monthly happening and we are hoping to finally make one. They look like fun. I may post a review on here later.
Next week we are heading off to the snow, Thredbo to be exact. We have rented a house with a group of friends and they will be going off skiing during the day, leaving me alone to enjoy the serene quiet and catch up on a whole lot of writing I have been planning on doing for some time now. I’m looking forward to it with a lot of relish, I haven’t had much time over the last couple of weeks and his will give me a chance to catch up on some short stories and more importantly continue of finishing the never ending manuscript.
Funny how people don’t seem to understand that the idea of sitting in a house surrounded by snow and drinking hot chocolate or mulled wine and writing writing writing sounds like a perfect time to me. There have been a lot of suggestions of what I could do including coming along and watching others ski, meet for lunch, go tobogganing because they think I will be bored. How can someone be bored when they can sit down a write or edit? When I keep saying no they look at me like I’m crazy. In a nice, kind affectionate way.
Until next time
