Blind dogs
Today our Reserve Bank governor started a speech with a quote from The Doors, which is pretty up-to-date for a Reserve Bank governor. He said, 'The future's uncertain and the end is always near.' So that was economically helpful. Then he said, 'Come on, baby, light my fire,' which was less relevant.
In other news, I patted a guide dog puppy. Or a blind dog, as my grandmother would have it. Its walker brought it up to see us at work because it needs practice with stairs. Aww, it was cute. I sometimes think that would be a good thing to do, but it would be so hard to give the puppy up at the end of the year (or however long you have them for). Also, it would spend four days of the week alone at home or in the office with me, neither of which would be good for its socialisation. So that's the end to that little dream.
Today's irritation: people who take the weather personally. I spoke to a woman this morning who was really quite angry that it looked like rain when she was planning to do something outside. Which would be disappointing, granted, but not infuriating. I wanted to tell her to chill, but thought she might not like cold weather either.
