Today was a lazy day, you know, one of those days when you’re at work but not very work orientated, when it’s fun to have a chat or several, I probably spent more time talking about good books and bad english lit lessons at school than doing any real work.
Not good I know but I had a tough day yesterday so I took the opportunity to ease back, this concluded in a fantastic exchange of good books to read so I’m back to the Kite runner.
I also learned today that 7000 jobs were created yes created by Subway that means that yesterday about 3 x as many jobs were created than lost, How big was that news, it certainly didn’t get to the radio 4 headlines this morning.
