There was a talk on the origins of the universe today. The big bang. The genetic code. The role of philosophy... By some physicist dude. I didn't get to it because (sigh) of troubles with Work and Income. I think... This will be the last of my troubles with them.
I am known to the city people now. I might be imagining things... But I think maybe it was about that. Then the accommodation people again...
I am starting out up high in the tower block. With a tiny little window. But possibly with a view. In a studio with only a microwave with no cook-top. Not entirely self-contained. Probably... So they can see how I go. Keep a bit more of an eye on me. Or maybe I'm being paranoid...
So I missed the talk... But I went for drinks. I am welcome around the department. I will be welcome around the staff club next year. Met some second year mathemetitian / logician / computer scientist... Nobody much cares about what you are formally enrolled in... People can tell the difference.
For the first time in a very long time...
I've come home.
Properly.
I am a little scared of the city. A lot scared of the 700+ bio-medders and 300+ health sci-ers all fighting it out for a place in medicine... Of the money motivation. Of the prestige motivation. Of the do-goody motivation... But a lot less scared of the academic community. My... Home.
The only home I've got.
The benzo's are f*ck*ng amazing. Glad I've got alternative things to live for or I really would be in danger of being lost... Anteriograde amnesia FTW. Going to start stuffing my stuff in big black gargage sacks from tomorrow (since some bastard stole my suitcase in their rush to get the f*ck away from here).
Yay Dexter. Even though hollywood sociopaths annoy me, rather...
