Analysis and questioning
It's a nice day today. I would like to be outside. The lights in the office keep turning themselves off in an irritating fashion because there's no-one walking around. A very nice colleague of mine who was in for the morning has bought me an enormous coffee from Starbucks. He is clearly one of the good guys.
I do not know when Mark, the director on this job, is going to arrive. I do know that I am unlikely to have enough work completed by that time. I also know that he will not be even slightly upset by this, which for some reason I find does not please me.
I wonder why I would not be pleased by not being given a hard time, but suspect it is related to the entire internal self-blame thing. If no-one else gives me a hard time, I have to do it myself, and I give myself a harder time than other people would. Ah well.
It is interesting work. I am looking at international financial reporting standards, classification in the income statement and exploring accounting options. This is something I feel confident working on. I have determined that any work that entails throwing common sense and intelligence at a problem to gain solutions is something that suits me. I have not been able to work out how to phrase the previous sentence so that it does not sound big-headed.
I went round to Andy's late last night. He has decided that I am ignorant in the ways of films and that it is his job to educate me. I wish to put together a list of films I need to see that I have not seen. Assuming that I have seen The Shawshank Redemption, the Star Wars series and the Godfather trilogy, but very little else, I would welcome film recommendations.
