Sad Dance Songs Are My Favourite Songs


If lightning strikes me (or I fall into nuclear waste) and gives me the musical talent I've always wanted but never possessed; I would make sad songs. For a number of reasons, I am not a normal functioning member of society. Perhaps no-one is. Perhaps society itself is only a construct that people only pretend to be part of, or perhaps as human contact becomes fleeting due to a combination of bureaucracy and technology then we're losing our normality.

My Experience As A School Network Monitor


"If you have nothing to fear, you have nothing to hide."
Joseph Goebbels

I've already written about this, but for two months last year I worked in a secondary school as an IT technician. It was just a work experience role, so my responsibilities were limited. Sometimes I was able to fix a problem, most of the time I would just gather as much info as I could before passing it onto a colleague. Often I was given the menial jobs, or 'side-quests' as I liked to call them. I would patrol after-school, change print toners, fill in data entry. Easy stuff for a luddite such as myself.
