Entry for 20th May, 2008

I have had a pretty much full day today. I went into the office early though it is a Sunday, and caught up with a big pile of paperwork that was beginning to take on a life of its own; the type of files that you are fairly sure prowl around the office late at night of their own volition. Some of them roam in packs and are wont to try to devour young solicitors who stray too far from the herd.
After that I played with the Small Round Faced People while my Significant Other abandoned us to go and watch the Sex and the City movie. I do not really follow the Sex and the City phenomenon. It appears to me to centre on four rather vacuous thin women who are perennially unable to retain a boyfriend. Plainly, for some reason that I can't fathom, the men of New York are put off by gaunt, materialistic harpies who do nothing but drink Manhattans and whine about the inadequacies of their men-folk.
I had to cope with four dirty nappies, a nasty incident with a bogie and a minor tantrum when I failed to read "Nessy - the mythical beast of Loch Ness" for a seventh successive time. It was still better than watching Sex and the City.
