I was very pleasantly surprised to receive a little book today. It was something I mentioned in passing more than a month ago, nothing more than 2 sentences regarding my failed attempt to buy it, but the person actually remembered. No doubt the book was meant to be 'compensation', (and not very adequately at that though, it doesn't matter) but what it lacked in monetary value, it made up for in thought and the quality of the literature.
Things unexpected can be so wrong and so right, I suppose it all depends on the point of view.
So the research thing was supposed to end today, but it didn't really, due to unforseen circumstances. After so many false 'endings', it really feels like Groundhog Day. Though I think I'm finally learning about the elusive 'value of money'; what I earned doing miscellaneous research work for45 hours is what I can earn with a 3 hr wedding gig and some teaching, involving far less brains and time. Hmm.
