Work's lousy: Editing for a community magazine that no-one else wants to do, and has therefore been shuttled to me. They don't really care about my content ideas - what matters is if the community organisation managers have enough pictures of themselves and the events they've done. I'm merely supposed to write inspiring captions and make a bunch of people seem like motivated, caring and committed people.
Anyways, was sleeptyping through most of the morning, till someone suggested I've a Cafe Coffee Day Coffe Latte. Yeah right, I said. Me, the one weaned on authentic filter coffee, settle for watery stuff they peddle at astronomical rates. I mean, look at the cafes themselves. The young ones who hang out there, simply having coffee, checking suitable opposites out. So... juvenile.
But it came, with a cute stirrer that doubled as a straw. And it worked. Yes, it was watery, but the gloom's gone, and I'm here, saying thanks.
My 'back pages' have been altered.
