As some of you know, I’ve been unhappy about the direction my job has taken.  I was being transferred to a project which would involve no design or coding, and was almost clerical in nature.  Last Thursday I had a talk with the head of the software department, and explained my issues to him.  Once I explained what they wanted me to do, he understood my reluctance.  As a result, starting Monday I should be working with a different group, writing test software.  Whether it’s as enjoyable as what I’d been doing remains to be seen; but at least I no longer feel dread at the prospect of going to work.

I just finished the last book of the His Dark Materials trilogy, by Phillip Pullman.  I haven’t been so enthralled by a fantasy series since Narnia.  The worlds he conjures up are brilliantly inventive, the characters are complex and free of cliches, and although he doesn’t pull any punches, the spirit of the books is ultimately an uplifting one.  Highly recommended.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I haven’t done anything with my hair yet.  The consultation yesterday left me just as baffled and unsure as I was before.  The stylist basically just went through fashion magazines with me, without giving me a hell of a lot of feedback.  I wish I could just find a nice gay hairdresser who would be all like, I’m seeing something, I’m seeing something… YES!  I know just the thing for you… There are things I’m good at, but fashion is not one of them, and I want to just hire an expert to figure it out for me.
