When I got into work today, dreading the meeting I posted about yesterday I bumped into the one person I didn't want to be there; she was barely able to speak & told me she was going home. Yippee, I thought, one down, it'll go better than I thought. As it happened there were only going to be four people there anyway, & then I found my manager was off sick, so with half the people not present I made an executive decision and told the fourth person we'd scratch it.
When I got to my own in tray I found that a colleague to whom I had lent Z Budapest's The Goddess in the Office had returned it, which was strangely suitable. I solemnly swear I had no hand at all in these people's illnesses, it just happened to work out exactly how I wanted it for today!
------------------
Do you see the cobbles on the streets? Everywhere you look, stone & rock. Can you imagine what it feels like to reach down with your bones & feel the living stones? The city is built on itself, all the cities that came before. Can you imagine how it feels to lie down on an ancient flagstone & feel the power of the rock buoying you up against the tug of the world? And that's where witchcraft begins. The stones have life, & I'm part of it. - adapted from Terry Pratchett
