Oops, I did it again
Jun. 23rd, 2003 11:24 pmWell, I seem to be hiating busily this month - quite without meaning to, I assure you.
Since my last post the main thing that's happened me is that I interviewed for a promotion at work - and got it. It's temporary, but still pretty excellent. My boss has gone on a career break, so for the next year I get to drop "Assistant" from my title and call myself "Editor of Publications". Yay me!
glitzfrau points out that I've joined the Traitor Boss Class. Purchase of Oppressing the Worker for Dummies imminent...
The days leading up to the interview were insane. The day of the interview, I instituted frivolity as a way of life at 4:30pm (I'd been sent home early by the interview panel immediately after being told I'd got the job, a circumstance on which I may expand, cautiously, anon) and frivolled industriously until the small hours in the company of three of my favourite people,
niallm,
glitzfrau and the Erisian.
Since then I've alternated between extreme exhaustion (Friday, Sunday) and manic activity (Saturday, Monday). I hope this pattern is broken tomorrow, when I really need to put a solid day's work in, and do a string of little things such as find out how much they're going to pay me and what they're thinking of doing about filling the position I've just vacated.
Oh, and two Bach concerts later this week - fabulous, fabulous, fabulous music, and a bunch of musicians it's a real privilege to sing with (it's an octet; I'm deputising). Dubliners, come and hear us in TCD Chapel at 8pm on Saturday (28 June). It'll be gorgeous.
But first, sleeeeeeeeep.
(And apologies to those who've sent me e-mail in the past couple of weeks - you know who you are - my silence is in no way ominous. As soon as the opportunity arises I plan a catching-up session of magisterial proportions.)
