wisdom? mystery? bit gay maybe? carry circe by madeline miller around on a school trip and become a walking conversation starter. haven’t opened the book yet but could well open a meet and greet.

I read this book almost 2 years ago now, and it's been a book I find myself thinking about on and off randomly when just sitting and drinking my morning mud™️. It's the tale of Circe, a daughter of gods, and her battle with the gods' perspective on "mortals" and her own in contrast. This story bends genres, between mythical fantasy/folk tale, family drama, and romance. Circe feels like a classic folk tale you might read while researching Greek history, and stays true to the mythology while keeping its very readable appeal.

your boss appears on screen and says “walk with me.” he shows you the new outdoor signs. >“wow they look great!”< / “have they ever seen a spirit level?” +5 points! you remembered he has low self esteem! he says “move every plant pot an inch to the left please, it should take all morning.” “I’d love nothing more” / >“absolutely”< he is now out of periferal. >stand and entertain this task for all of 5 minutes< / leave immediately. great choice! time wasted is time wasted after all! treat yourself. >piss around on the scissor lift< / stand alone in the overflow car park
