Peace
Wednesday, May 16, 2007It's pathetic how much i love my job. Right now it's a rainy day. I'm drinking Irish Breakfast tea and making copies. My shoes are off, and the place is very quiet...no one is in and so the place is just pure peace. I enjoy the company of all the faculty here, and the students, esp. my GA's and workers, but...this is nice. I am a solitary person in nature, and that doesn't mean anything against anyone, because unless I'm stressed I find that I like the company when i have it. But yeah. This is really, really nice. I'm working on a tenure file, which is perverse fun, perverse because I actually enjoy taking stacks of things out of a drawer and organizing them into order so they look good. I want my Department Chair to make tenure so I'm taking extra care. This is such an evocative day. The grey clouds are making it sleepy and peaceful. Distant voices from the archives keep me from feeling alone in the world. I have most of my work done...there are things I can find to do, but nothing is screaming. I do need to buy a new electric kettle, though. The one my friend/mentor from college gave me is leaking. :-/ Any suggestions? Also, am enjoying Harry Potter way too much. I am considering giving in and pre-ordering the last book, partly because i really don't want to get spoiled like I did for the last book. Playing Severus over in Unseen has been brilliant fun, I think of all the people I've rped, he and Mowett are neck and neck as my faves.
