annwfynI just woke up at 10.30 am. I went to bed around 1 am. I have normally been waking up at 7 am, no matter what. Not today!
I think I needed that sleep.
So, how is Sally? How is the new job going?
(OK, so no one actually asked that question, but I'm going to tell you all anyway).
The job appears to be going well. I have an desk of my own, in a shared office. I have a 2009 staff diary, I have keys to the museum so I can let myself in and out, and I've got a contract which lasts until September when I begin as a proper and permanent member of staff.
I wear dresses into work every day, have a boss who calls me 'sweetie' and have been feeling so much better for feeling like my future is that bit more secure.
For any who are interested, I shall be working Tuesday - Friday, 10-5, with some overtime (mostly the occasional weekend, and fairly regularly working past 5 if it's needed). I also have no internet access at the museum at all right now, but am available via my mobile phone if I'm needed.
And gods, I'm tired.
I shouldn't be. I know I shouldn't be, but the combo of this heat, starting a new job, and assorted ZG related commitments has left me shattered. I hate this weather so damn much!
Let it rain! Please, let it rain!
Oh, in other news, we went to see the Dark Knight last night. I don't think I had the geek orgasm that is widely being reported as the only possible response to the film. I thought Gary Oldman was outstanding as Jim Gordon. I loved Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent, and Heath Ledger did make an incredible joker. Christian Bale, however, played Batman as a bit of a large lump of wood and I do rather agree withtroubleinchina about the misogyny of the film. The female characters were there to be weak, to be compromised, to not really matter. And whilst I love Maggie Gyllenhaal, Rachel Dawes was the weakest of her characters by a long way.
I was also very bitter about Jim Gordon developing a son, who got a load of screen time whilst his daughter was left unnamed and off screen. HELLO? That's ORACLE! Do you people know NOTHING?
Bah. And humbug.
But there were some lovely moments, and I'm glad I saw it.
