caddymanIn something of a turn around, I have decided for the time being that I shall not complain too vociferously about working in Wonderland. If the overall state economy is half as bad as the media suggest (it’s probably only about a quarter as bad), then being an established civil servant of close on 25 years’ service suddenly looks like a remarkably wise career choice1. A little bit of me wishes he could be in the unemployment offices when the suddenly redundant 'Yah, Rillies' from the City start turning up and find that they are entitled to about 50 quid a week, somewhat down from the bloated bonuses they taunted everyone else with in the good times. Schadenfreude on a stick with extra bitter, please.
Moving into the second half of September, I find that I am already into that short space of time in Autumn (there is a similar period in Spring, too) where ambient temperatures are such that I sleep soundly at night and wake up relatively rested and ready for work2. We are in that short window between the Summer’s heat and the consequent inability to sleep and the Winter urge to hibernate because it’s cold and dark.
This almost calls for a song and a dance, but let’s not push it, eh?
1A revelation like that might floor a lesser man, but Your Hero is made of sterner stuff.
2Insofar as I am ever ready for work.
