‘Virginia is getting a non-promotion promotion. She’s getting added responsibilities but nothing else is changing.’ ‘I….’ – a laugh – ‘I was going to say, typical, that’s fucking typical. But it’s not, is it? It’s really not, just what I would have said once.’ ‘It is a bit typical. This is MegaBig Corp after all.’ […]
Diverging paths
Perhaps I should have been a hiphop editor. I seem to have the knack.
Back to the Mah Meri
For the third weekend in a row it was dominated by Mah Meri spirit carvings. We went to the Petronas Gallery where there were a few on display and the GF bought some to add to his collection. A couple of the carvers were present and they told us the stories of the spirits we […]
Silence is best
Another busy day today and likely to be a busy few weeks too come. What I have been thinking can’t written on a blog, even one that no one reads, so this is all for now.
Headachy day
A second headachy day, and indeed a headachy night as I woke up several times feeling awful and once, sure that dacoits had robbed the bank vault – which bank vault, who knows. I think these are tension headaches due to very tense shoulders. I really should go for a massage. In any case, I […]
Uninteresting
A busy sort of day today, with a couple of speeches to write in the morning, then a consultancy to bid for (little hope but one must keep at it), and finally a rather interesting article on disability to edit. However, I have had a headache all day, which is steadily getting worse, and I […]
Rush
We leave for Yogyakarta today, earlier than I thought. The flight is at 1500; I had thought we were to leave for the airport then. Of course, some work has come in and I won’t finish before leaving, so my computer accompanies me so I can work on the flight. I am not sure what […]
Tooth drawingly painful
I am trying to complete an application for a consultancy for which I am pre-eminently qualified, for which I have examples and even pre-written text answering to each point, and it still feels like hell.
At last, at last
My computer has been released by customs, more than a month after I ordered and over three weeks after I got the email stating it had been shipped. With luck it’ll arrive tomorrow. GMum arrived last night whilst I was dozing on the sofa. I leapt up to open the door to her and to […]
Everyday is somethingday
The past few weeks I’ve written innumerable press materials for various virtuous days – anti-corruption day, youth day, volunteering day, mountain day, etc. I suppose they are as much an internal focusing mechanism as an actual way to increase public awareness. This weekend we went to Shah Alam, the capital of the neighbouring state of […]
