bluecastleWell now I feel equal parts pleased and shitty.
Our morning part time person (sort of half time as she works all weekday mornings), who didn't get the job here which she really really really wanted told me this morning over tea (DOUBLE BERGAMOT. it's awesome :) that she'd had coffee with our department head post job announcement (I knew this, and was glad he had time to take her for coffee and talk to her) that as part of that she'd told him what a great job she though _I_ was doing and how underutilized she thought I was and that they had a treasure they needed to take advantage of etc etc....
Which. WOW. *blushes* *wonders how to accept compliments gracefully* but also CRAP. I feel really bad that she had all those nice things to say about someone who was partially responsible for her NOT getting the job she really wanted, (she had also been sort of groomed for by my previous supervisor (to no avail, clearly...).
In other news, still full of Lewis feels. Waiting to find right inspiration to write something canon-compliant. Otherwise have tiny bit written for a Lewis/His Dark Materials crossover, but am stuck on Laura's daemon. Granted I only ever read the first book so I am sort of vague on everything except people have daemons. That's enough, right? LOL
Also sidetracked by random thoughts that go like this: in a society more like our own, but where everyone has a daemon ... how would airplanes/airplane seats have evolved differently? Do daemon's get seats? Are the seats wider so one can sit with one's daemon? Oh the places my brain goes for something that's only vaguely related to what I was writing...
So ... If you were Laura Hobson, what kind of a daemon would you like? :)
