Tshuapa, le dragon vert
Jun. 19th, 2003 12:55 amMm. Work . . . well, I share an office with a separate team, and while my current assignment is fiddly and picky and requires care and attention (though, to be frank, not unenjoyable) I am regularly wincing on hearing their whimpers of pain. What with two off ill and one on annual leave and one off pregnant, the remaining two are not having a pleasant time of it. (And apparently the policies and procedures left behind by those on annual leave or pregnancy leave are, shall we say, far from complete.)
Fortunately (for me, at any rate) there's no real way I can help them out. Which at least spares me that dilemma.
Almost finished Green Dragon. Also, got a neat idea for a short piece. Which probably won't involve sex unless one of the two characters gets really twisted. Though, admittedly, she is one of the most twisted characters on the show, so there you go.

It's funny how the stories of our lives work, Jason thought. Those narratives we all of us carry around inside ourselves to shape the world and give it meaning, if only to ourselves, and how a single new element, just one small thing, can change them utterly. You think you're living in a happy and complicated bed-hopping sex romp, then you learn that one of the people in it, all unknowing, has been Positive for the last ten years -- and find that you've been living in another kind of story entirely. Or the nice quiet man you thought you'd have a nice quiet night in with turns out to be the sort of person that the neighbours subsequently describe as a "nice quiet man", albeit with an unfortunate propensity for doing extraordinary things with powertools while the acid bath is running.
