am i the only one in the office?

are these heaven's signs giving me the green light to work from home today?

(i am so going home to work after lunch)

-------------------------------------------

i bought like 4 books on my last day in oxford street, a bit on a whim, like 6 hours before my flight.

i know i had mentally psyched myself not to buy any books again but how could/can i help it? Quirky books for 3 quid, 2 quid? Has to be my ultimate weakness, darn it.

i'm reading a book now, called 'never push when it says pull',

and if laughing on public transport i.e. the mrt or the tube is the ultimate indicator of how funny a book it, it has got to be dead funny. it's got me sniggering/giggling one second and then looking up self-consciously trying to act serious to see if anyone caught me sniggering to myself the next second.

a little excerpt:

'libraries are brothels for the mind. which means that librarians are the madams, greeting the punters, understanding their strange tastes and needs and then pimping their books. That's rubbish of course but it does wonders for the image of librarians.'

charming, ain't it?
