Disease is a brilliant book! Fast paced, full on & top notch science-fi.

I certainly have. Soon I'll post about how much I hate offices in more specific detail, with a bit more vitriol.

Teaching requires continual interaction for large chunks of the day. It’s not for everyone either. You have no inner life during lessons - it’s all concentration on projecting your personality and will outwards whatever your mood.

I've done some form of teaching too and I concur. Teaching doesn't allow you a moment's peace, during lessons anyway.

I would like to be a mailman so I could walk around all day. At some of my English schools here in Japan, we would be sent out posting flyers in mailboxes. So nice to be outside.

Many industries are short staffed now so they might employ you as a mailman these days.
