Today, today...
Aug. 26th, 2008 05:32 pm1. So. I seem to have become General Help Person at the workshops; I fix things! I answer questions about jobhunting (even though I'm not good enough at it to have a job myself yet)! I teach basic computer use! I type up documents! I... get mistaken for a secretary by visitors!
2. The people who viewed Pez's flat today wanted to know if the Tezmobile was included.
3. Writing is just... *stares unhappily at fic* I have a new one on the go which might end up being one of the many things I'm writing for challenges/exchanges this autumn, so I'll not say too much about it, other than that it's weirding me out a bit and that it promises to be no less of an uphill struggle than anything else I've written this year. Brace for impact? Something like that.
4. Two people today were talking about how they'd be really uncomfortable if they found out someone was gay and probably would avoid them, as though this was a totally acceptable thing. I'm glad the supervisor was disgusted with them, anyway. But it was just one of those Moments. All the environments I've lived, worked and studied in have been really tolerant; I don't think I've heard things like that before from people in person, really, though of course I know those sorts of views aren't nearly as rare as they bloody should be.
5. Recent conversations & events prompt this, in a loose sort of way: I don't require all of my friends to be friends with each other. I don't require anyone to pick sides if I don't like someone. No lines have been drawn. I don't mind, so long as peace is maintained here.
That is all.
