Today I became officially between jobs – my last day was…interesting.
I just went in to pick up some odd bits and pieces. As I was leaving at 5:30, someone pulled me aside and suggested that I should stay around for a meeting with some members of the board at 6. So, I ended up leaving the office around 9pm, still, it was worth it. The meeting was incredible. I can’t divulge any details, but let me just say that I’m glad to be out of there.
This is the first in a series of brief, random and intermittent book reviews…
Travels in Dreamland is a peculiar book about Area 51 and its relation to the UFO watching community in America. It describes the birth of the skunkworks, a fascinating and extremely intense lab/research department. There is also a lot of discussion about the community of UFO watchers that has built up around the base – these people come over as paranoid, though I suspect thats not the intention of the author.
An interesting book if you’re into UFOs and US military aircraft research, probably rather long-winded if you’re not.
I’d forgotten just how good Lords of the New Church were.
Hmm, all looks a bit complicated to me.
…for the moment at least.
A good night, and I got to dress up properly ‘cos I’ve given up going to work now and don’t need to be besuited.
Quite a technoish set today, but there was enough of a break for NMAs “I love the world” – a stompy dancable track, but still prefer “Poison Street” or “Master Race” or “Drag it down”…maybe one day I’ll find a club that plays that sort of stuff more.
Ran around capturing pictures of everyone before I disappear, then managed to mislay my camera on the way home (I think I know who has it, but its too late to text or call now…tomorrow)
I’ve been getting into the spirit of it all today, meeting up with evilmandykins for a whirlwind tour of some of the available books and technology. Randomly bumped into godgirl on the way around.
We finished the evening off with a trip to Wagamama, where I managed to successfully reassure myself that I can actually eat some Japanese food.
Why can’t I successfully plan anything at the moment? Everything keeps moving around and not quite falling into place…looks like I’ll be off to Paris tomorrow or friday now, which is probably a good thing all things considered ‘cos I’ve not even thought about packing yet…
What should my new company be called? Candidates so far are:
I think I like Florescent best of those…
