I'm only writing this post because it means that I don't have to be thinking about work while I do it. Also, it means that I can use the word nadir in a genuine sense.

One of the motifs of my BVC blog is that I do not care for Legal Resarch and Opinion Writing. I find it unstimulating, frustrating and frankly it is a matter of total indifference to me whether Miss X who was careless in renewing her insurance gets flooded or not.
In addition to this, I'm spectacularly bad at writing Opinions. Those who know me reasonably well may suspect that these two facts are not unconnected... They'd be right.

It is often joked by pupil barristers that they end up practising in the area they most hated whilst training. If this is to be so with me, I shall give up the course now and become a double-glazing salesman in preference to EVER writing another damn Opinion.

On a totally separate note, there is a job being advertised by Blizzard Europe, the people behind the World of Warcraft online game. It is for an English-speaking GM {Game Master} which would be my ideal job if it didn't mean having to move to live South of Paris... There must be a job somewhere in England where I can sit and drink tea and play games?! I'll even accept Wales and, at a push, Scotland.
