People have often said to me that if they didn't have a job they wouldn't know what to do with themselves. That's something that I've never understood. I heard, a few years back, that the total hours of film released in the cinema now exceeds the average human lifespan, and I'm quite sure that you couldn't get close to reading even half of the books ever written in one lifetime, so that's me busied up for life right there, and I haven't even started on videogames. I hear some people even get bored on holiday. That's definitely not me. I'd be on holiday all the time if I had the chance! I swear I could lie on a beach all day and I'd never get bored of it. This holiday we couldn't afford to get anywhere hot so we decided to stay at home and pretend, and mercifully Britain decided to play too and gave us 29 degree sunny days for most of the week. Hooray for that! I didn't get round to getting much of a tan though, we were too busy doing other things: mostly eating. Can't complain! I am pleasantly surprised, however, to find that I'm looking forward to getting back to work. As much as I love the time off, I do like having problems to solve and I can't wait to get back to that. I feel refreshed and productive again. It was really nice to think like a human instead of a computer for a week though: I wish I could do more of that.
