dull post from a dull outpost

Updating on the creepy boss front. I rang me up to check whether I could finish a project for which I have external funding on early. He seems to think that writing up a grammar of a language should take about a week. Is it too much to ask that he takes our work seriously, especially when the institution reaps the benefits, pecunary and otherwise.

What else? Been spending a lot of time with my friends who live on the box, and sleeping with the television on. Have pleaded/begged whined for some friends to come up from Wel. to visit me. But nothing doing.
