oakfarmThe worst thing first. The not light news. My job will end on the last day of october. So with that and one or two other dreams I failed with, I am in pain. Mental pain.
The light news. So some time ago I wrote an entry about the book It would be night in Caracas by Karina Sainz Borgo. I wrote it after I had only read fifty pages and despite that detail I compared it to The black obelisk by Erich Maria Remarque. The same evening I read ~100 pages in the novel and realized it’s not like The black obelisk. I started to think more about The hunger games and The parable of the sawer. It would be night in Caracas is about a woman who has to survive in an almost(?) dystopian society. You see my thinking.
In light and trivial news. So some weeks ago we had a meeting on Teams, with the AS-group. One guy said something like this: “R and C, you who are smart” and then he asked a question about batteries. I was offended, since he just asked R and C not me. Ok, I don’t know anything about batteries but two things. One, doesn’t he think I am smart? Two, my youngest sister's PhD thesis was about electricity. No, he didn’t know that, and no her field is electric production and electric machines not specifically batteries, and that fact doesn’t say anything about my knowledge about batteries. Just wanted to brag about my sister. She literally wrote a book about it. Another detail is that we were more people there than just me, R, C and the asker, so he, with the same silly(?) logic, offended other people too.
