thursday postscript


it's funny how thing turn out...as Prefab Sprout insisted, in their splendid song, it's a Life of Surprises: although I've been feeling a bit manky, and the world's mostly a crock of shit (or a crapberg, if you like), there are little everyday interventions that people make that make everything look suddenly beautiful, and bathed in light: for example, an email from an old friend that triggers deep memories; or an email comment from an esteemed colleague that makes you realise that what you're doing in the 9 to 5 makes a difference to someone; chance discussions in the workplace where you connect with people and realise that those human connections are what makes life worthwhile.

Tiny, everyday epiphanies.

See! how he oscillates wildly between gloom and mild elation. Thrill! as his mood-mediating neurotransmitters ebb and flow. Gasp! as his flakiness is revealed in all its nakedness.
