And today...

Today's on-the-sofa-under-the-duvet films have been Walk on the Moon and X-Men. Quite a contrast (although linked by both having Anna Paquin in them). Walk on the Moon made me cry again (not really difficult today, mind...).

I'll be well enough for work tomorrow, which is both good and bad...

DH seems a bit down about his work at the moment - he likes the job, but feels he may be delegating himself out of it (typical problem - scientist goes into the work because he likes the hands-on stuff, then ends up as middle management never actually doing anything practical himself).

So we're a right cheerful household here today. At least DS is enjoying school, and DD loves her nursery.

That's one of the major reasons Mr. G left work. I mean, it obviously factored into it that we were going to have a baby and he wanted to stay home with the baby, but he was so frustrated. Every time he'd get a new job, he'd tell them that he wanted to do technical stuff (he does multimedia, graphic arts, etc.) and he'd end out as a project manager or in middle management regardless. He's excellent with people -- he's someone that just about everyone instantly likes upon meeting him -- so it wasn't any surprise, but it also wasn't what he wanted to be doing.

Well, think about it positively - you only have two more days of the week left, even if you go back to work tomorrow.

I worked with scientists in SA and they used to complain as well. When you're working in the lab, you're not advancing your career. We had a 'flat' management structure instead of a pyramid, i.e. everyone was a manager of something. In some ways that was good and allowed people to take responsibility for things. But most of them missed donning the labcoats.
