Alas and alack
Alack is one of those words that never get used without alas, isn't it? Rather like kith. And I've never been sure whether kith has any autonymous meaning, or whether, in fact, it means exactly the same as kin. In which case, what is it's point?
But that was all an aside from the woe-is-me-self-flagellating-I-haven't-blogged-again-for-so-long moan. But perhaps you can take that as read? After all, I've said it enough!
I think the thing about blogging is that I very rarely that much I want to share with the public. And by definition everyone who reads my blog is "public" (if indeed anyone does!). There may be things that I would write here if the people I know read it didn't, but likewise things I would tell them which I wouldn't tell other people. All in all, it makes for a very confusing audience. I'm not quite sure who it is that I write for; whether this is in fact a diary, or some complex method of keeping in touch. If the former, then I'm consciously holding back at times, and if the latter, then I'm getting no feedback from you guys by way of comments.
All in all, however, my lack of blogging prowess does lead me to wonder if I should be doing NaNoWriMo in November. All the more so since I've signed up for a Distance Learning LLM, which will take two years, and lots of dosh. In addition to all this, my boss clearly wants me to take on lots of management stuff, and possibly a job like his. I'm just not sure whether I want to be any higher up the management tree than I am now (which is fairly low). I'm not sure I'm cut out for it. Which is very different from saying that I'm not sure that I could do it. At the risk of being big-headed, I'm sure I could do it. I'm just not too sure I want to. It's all a bog responsibility, and I'm not sure I want to give up that much of my life. I like my time at home with hubby and cats, and I can see that that time would get gradually eroded away.
Bah.
Anyway, it's all a far cry from the beginning of the year when I didn't have any work to do at all. Now I have tons of work to do, but not all of it is legal work. So I think I'm feeling a little unsettled. Hurumph.
Had enough of this post now. Too serious. Must go. Baksun.
