todayiamadaisyI was planning to do random reviews over the weekend, but I forgot to generate random times. So that's the end of that bit of fun.
I was also planning to have a few months off from work, but today I saw a job that, oh, I could do in my sleep. It's being the "executive officer" (i.e. finance and governance) for a tiny not-for-profit organisation. Twenty hours a week, just in the mornings, which would give me afternoons off to do my own thing. So I emailed them and requested a full position description. I mean, it doesn't hurt to look, does it? Just in case. I don't have to actually apply. (But I might.)
Tonight I have been to a show, the last of my 2016 subscriber shows at the City by the Sea's theatre. This was a monologue by (left-wing) political comedian Rod Quantock. So, yes, he had some things to say about this week. It was a big night at the theatre. The foyer was packed with little girls in leotards, who aren't the typical audience for a political comedian. It turned out we were in the smaller studio, and the main theatre was being used by the local calisthenics club for their annual show. Rod Quantock himself stood at the top of the stairs greeting his audience, and when the little girls in leotards came up he politely wished them good luck and pointed them to the other door. So that was nice.
I didn't know people still did calisthenics. And I've just looked it up and discovered that it's an Australian invention so very few of you would know what I was talking about. It's not the bodyweight exercises that the rest of the world apparently calls calisthenics. This is like gymnastics only not.
