ravenThe important thing is that I finished the last Murderbot book. The slightly less important thing is that I am not going back to work tomorrow.
Not not ever, obviously, and I don't still have covid, but I'm wiped out and post-viral to kind of a horrible degree, so rearrangements have been made. I'm going back on 11 December, and have been asked to the Christmas party in the meantime. It's fine! It's all fine. I'm just cranky and unsettled.
Entirely coincidentally I have been re/reading Murderbot, with an eye to Dr Mensah, and the Temple of the White Rat, with an eye to Bishop Beartongue; they are two fictional women who have nothing in common except being powerful, harassed women in public service; Mensah unlike Beartongue is not a public lawyer but she has a lot of them to hand, when bringing large pieces of constitutional litigation against her own government. I always have such trouble in interviews explaining my leadership style.
