African green eyes

I went for my job interview today. Blah blah blah... now i feel like it's not the job for me, I shouldn't say yes if they pick me. They want "someone willing to commit themselves until the end of 2005." Hell, I don't know where I`ll be at the end of June!

Next plan: head for the temp agency that got me my present job, and ask them for something temporary and part-time.

After the job interview, I got lost in the hospital. The place was laid out as a labyrinth. Then I ran into a black man with green eyes. I asked him how I could get out. He looked at me and said:

"You can't leave." He then started laughing.

I smiled politely, intrigued.

He bade me to follow him, asking "you`ve been working here for a week and still don't know your way around?"

I replied that it was my first time, I was there for an interview and test. To which he said "i`ve been here for 3 years and I still can't get out."

Was he some kind of benevolent hospital spirit?

The days are so sunny in London. It's practically the Riviera, minus the beautiful people.

I`m reading a great book right now, which I can't put down: The Famished Road, by Ben Okri. It's set in Nigeria. Go forth and read it, my palm-wine children

"Then she turned. With her big eyes gazing at me steadily, she said:

'The road will never swallow you. The river of your destiny will always overcome evil. May you understand your fate. Suffering will never destroy you, but will make you stronger. Success will never confuse you or scatter your spirit, but will make you fly higher into the good sunlight. Your life will always surprise you.'"

Words by Atwood

The inclination towards tyranny, the wielding of absolute power by the few over the many, knows no ideological boundaries and is not confined to one time or space.( Read more... )
