Peeks around corner
Jul. 23rd, 2003 09:42 pmBoy, I must be getting old, when a year passes barely noticed.
Pretty pathetic, but as much as I like the idea of using this journal as a creative outlet, sadly, I haven't managed to do that, since I haven't exactly been creative lately. But I have been feeling more and more inspired to do some fun writing--an urge that is generally directly proportional to how busy or stressed I am at work, which isn't very helpful. But here I am anyway.
I really need to quit my job. A friend of mine who has been there a lot less time than I have announced she was quitting, which caused quite an uproar--as well as all around nastiness, since she was leaving in the middle of a big case. I'm quite envious, especially since last week she and I had lunch, and I'd talked about how much I wanted to quit. But the poor girl really needed to get out of there. The people she works for treat her awfully, and that doesn't particularly make you want to put up with the long hours and pressure. I really wonder about the pure stupidity of some of the partners, though, since they're only shooting themselves in the foot with their nastiness and pettiness and driving the nice, normal people out. Oh well, it's not like I'm surprised by it or anything.
I've been thinking more and more that I'd like to motivate myself to write some fic. I pulled out some of my old unfinished stuff, and maybe that will help inspire me. We'll see.
Currently reading: Life of Pi and In An Antique Land. Just finished reading Across A Nightingale Floor, which I really liked. Now I have to wait an unknown time for the sequel. Typical.
