Back on invigilating. Sometimes it’s like herding cats. I didn’t get a lunch break this time but I was ready with a salmon sandwich from pret. Now I’m home and I’ve pushed myself into torpor with half a pack of spaghetti, home made Cacio e Pepe sauce and a huge chunk of grated cheddar. This is likely to be my only invigilating shift for a while so I’m happy they gave me the extra time students as it’s a bit more money, but this lot were really working the angles. I don’t blame them though. If you can stop the clock whenever you want to then do so… Gives you time to think.
It’ll be another varied week this week, I’m looking forward to it, despite quite a lot of learning to be done. I’ve been feeling a little shaky in myself the last few weeks though and that is likely to continue for at least ten days. A movie is coming out. I want to watch it and the credits before I fully understand what I’m dealing with. Man I could really use a job to get lost in right now but they aren’t forthcoming. I’ll have to just keep plugging into the variety of life. The spice of life innit. Etc.
Today though I’ve put myself to bed and it isn’t nine yet. I might read kindle a bit. I was gonna watch The Singing Detective as apparently it is on iPlayer at the moment and I can barely remember it from the first time I watched it, but it was remarkable. I’m not feeling it though. Don’t really want to consume, don’t really want to participate. I kinda just want to sleep tonight. Sad about the usual hope things. It’s the other face on the joy. I’ll be alright. Can’t be hyperactive the whole time now can we?
