cybermuleI think I've said this before, but one of the big plus points of my job is the view. Most of the day for most of the year, I have to stare at the concrete monstrosity that is UWE, but at this time of year, I get the benefit of very cool sunsets.
Tonight we have a blue-grey sky, with small peach and pink clouds and some wisps of red and purple :)

Date: 2003-11-03 01:41 pm (UTC)I'm ashamed to admit it is. I freaked out my university tutor by telling him I was looking for a job somewhere nice to look at. Seemed like good criteria to me, anyway.
That view sounds really neat - I never think of Swindon as being attractive, but it's actually surrounded by some really nice countryside. Hmm, maybe I'll look into BP when I next want to change jobs...

I've always been a night person anyway. Been accused of being a vampire...

Yeah - in an ideal world, I'd like to sleep from about 6 a.m. to some tiem in the afternoon. But I've yet to find a job that doesn't suck that would let me have those hours :)

No, I can't see that :P You avoid sunlight, you have strong opinions about blood... how could that possibly make you a vampire? How do you feel about garlic and crucifixes?

Date: 2003-11-04 05:08 am (UTC)Actually I'm not comfortable around crucifixes most of the time. That's mainly a psychological problem though. I've never been found of them (I feel they violate the 10 commandments by providing an idol for people to worship through). Ever since I found my own spirituality I'm not comfortable around them because people who display them usually do not accept me as I am and try to convert me back.
Garlic I eat on everything. I love garlic. One of the most common spices in my house (even moreso now considering I'm living with someone of Italian decent, well Scottish-Italian).

Aha - not a vampire then. Or at least, not a cheesy stereotype of a vampire, anyway ;)

Date: 2003-11-04 07:36 pm (UTC)Personally I started reading cultural histories and religious texts (Dhammapada, Rig Veda, Qu'ran, Bible, etc...). I found that in every text there were a few simple tenets given in order to "live a good life". Some are so similar in wording that they are probably derived from the same source. Eventually something just clicked for me and I had a belief system that fits with my knowledge and emotions. It just fits for me. I really suggest everyone go through a search for religion and develop their own beliefs since it was such a positive and calming experience for me (and my mom I found out a couple years ago).
