| Back to Work, and Other Things.... |
So, back to work today, YAY!! Actually, it is kinda nice to be back, surrounded by people that can understand me (or at least, so I think!!). It does, however, have its drawbacks. For example, not only did I have to get up early this morning, I also had to shave. Dammit. I hate shaving. When I am not at work, I tend to just let it grow for several days before trimming it back a little and letting it grow back again.
I only shave because I feel I have to for work. It is all part of my separation of my public life from my private life. You see, when I go to work I usually wear a shirt (and a tie in the winter) and dress reasonably smartly. When I am away from work, I look like a leftover from the grunge era. Ripped jeans, skaters shoes, t-shirt, plaid shirt etc. Not really suitable for my job (or, indeed, almost any job. Well, apart from grunge rock legend of course!!). I kinda like to have a separation between my two lives. In my private life I am very different from the life I show when I am at work (I guess we are all like that a bit). I guess the clothes I wear are a visible manifestation of my attempts to separate these two lives. It works for me anyway.
Today is also my wedding anniversary. Two years down the line, I don't know how my wife puts up with me. All those late nights in front of a computer screen, blogging away. Weird thing is, she doesn't seem too bothered about really doing anything or getting any presents. We went out last night for a curry, which was damn good, but that's about it. Of course, I bought her the obligatory bunch of flowers and some chocolates, but she seems quite happy with that. It's quite a difference from last year. For our first anniversary we stayed in a posh hotel (the room we stayed in was the very room the prince of Spain stayed in - seriously!!) on the coast of Cadiz and watched the sun set over the Atlantic from our balcony. Very romantic. Last night, we ate a curry and spent the night on a toilet. Not so romantic!! I hope this is not a metaphor for our marriage!! Somehow I doubt it. Thanks TC, you are amazing. |
