For the first time since i started at my new job i have been on call. Fortunately for me it was MLK day yesterday, so i had no calls at all. So all i did was keep the team mobile phone within earshot until 11pm. I did want to go to sleep at 10, but not tonight...had to keep awake in case i had to put the laptop on and sort something out.

It means a little more money. Not much, but a little extra.

I decided that if i cannot enroll at the OU i will watch some of their programmes on the BBC. So last night i taped a couple of mythology, and one on the Wide Sargasso Sea. These are a part of the introduction to humanities course, a course which i will have to take. This way i can understand what it is they are going ot be asking of me, i can understand if i can really hack it. Even if the same books don't come up when i do it, i'm still more prepared. I shall probably try and keep them if they are of any further interest.

That sounds so dull. But i love learning!

Did i mention that i enjoyed the Sterkarm Handshake? I did, hated the ending, but like so many otehr books it was inevitable.

Enjoyed Tunnel vision, but then i am fascinated by the underground. Even if i don't actually like going on it...

On many of the lists i am on (which cover disparate topics such as DLS, girlsown stories and DWJ) many of the same favourite authors come up again and again (neil gaiman, connie willis...). Why can i not find people off-line who enjoy these things??
