I was halfway through "Swallows and Amazons" before I started getting really into it, but this morning I've had a hard time putting it down. I just managed to drag myself away and have a shower, after two pots of tea and at least two hours of reading. Now I think I can go get the paint for the car. :)
More nightmares last night. But that was hours ago, of course, and I've done lots of reading since, so I feel better now. I know it involved a guy waving a gun in my face. I know I'm too much of a worrier. Honestly it's not really that I think there's going to be violence against me, but I do often feel hated in this job. It doesn't help that IRS agents say they're glad TSA was invented because it gives the public someone to hate more than them. ;)
I had to do training last night - at work before I came home - about changes in the SOP, and I really didn't understand some of them, it was vague and disconnected because of the way it was presented, and I was trying to cram so much reading in so quickly that I was confused, and where it's done in these online classes I couldn't highlight things. I didn't even have paper to keep notes on - I should have gotten some, it might have relieved my tension a bit. I hate that kind of thing, because people expect me to know, because they think of me as a trainer. I'm not, I'm only a mentor, but even people who I've been working with since the start seem to think I'm a trainer and check with me about rules, it's weird.
Must go before I get annoyed again, thinking about it. Or more annoyed.

we could make up a "which Ransome character are you?" meme but I don't know that anyone else would appreciate it at all. I'd probably be Susan anyway. or Dorothea (who you haven't met yet) but that's mainly because she has two plaits (and writes, so actually, that's probably you!).
I did find one fanfic last year and was so surprised - it was of course set far in the future of the books after they'd all grown up, and it wasn't the smutty sort anyway.
