diary of a microserf ...
my client hasn’t given me internet access, so i’ve taken to re-reading a digital copy of Microserfs while my students do their exercises. it was one of the first books i read for pleasure, this in my final year of university! (childhood excluded, of course ... my mom is a teacher!) i didn’t read earlier because i associated books with schoolwork ... if i picked one up i would think to myself “you should be reading your textbook!”
so, in the spirit of Microserfs,
if my life was a game of jeopardy! my seven dream categories would be:
- music of the 90s & 00s
- good cheap food
- anxiety 101
- financial planning 102
- getting by doing minimal work
- “many highs, many methods”
- lighting solutions for the good host
the author introduces his characters this way, and it’s funny how much you can learn about a person from their seven dream categories. what would yours be?
