Mr Big




So, the first post was fairly wanky. I should give you some sense of where I am right now. There are two important locations to me: my apartment, and my teaching institute.

I'm currently in my institute. My office is seperated from the rest of the corridor by a thick, glass screen, and a door. I am four floors up in a 13 floor building. I have a window. It looks out onto a carpark. It is dark outside. In the carpark there is a small, transparent booth, where a parking attendent is sitting. He has a heat lamp facing his chair, and a small desk. He is my equivalent of TV. Currently he's talking to a friend, and making lots of poking gestures. He has never looked up from his workspace to the windows overhead, but then neither have I.

My desk is tidy at one end, for the students, and messy at the other end, for me. I have more pens than I need. Some of them don't work. I say 'some'; it could just be one, because they all look alike, and I haven't thrown the broken one away. I have a chocolate wrapper in front of me. It used to have a snickers in it. I wanted to buy a Mr Big, but the shop was all out. Failing to get a Mr Big makes me feel insecure and inadaquate.

I am about to give a conversation class about Sloths. I will tell you how it goes/what it is later (the class not the Sloth).
