I went and bought the Kindle version of The Handmaid's Tale. It's becoming a habit, buying the base versions. But for a change, I liked the series better than the book. "Blessed be the fruit" etc. are much easier on the senses when you view them, somehow. And of course the second season is totally new. Makes sense because it almost felt like Nick-Nama to me and Nick isn't so much of a big deal in the book.
The school next-door has given me a new job; monitoring its overhead water tank. It overflows periodically and I first pray that it stops quickly. Because water falling like a waterfall is nice only if it's a waterfall. But most times it doesn't go away. It goes on and starts playing on my mind. I can't concentrate on what I'm doing and my legs send me to the balcony. Next is the hard part. I start waving my hands frantically at anybody who may come out to the school corridor, hoping to grab their attention. I have been successful a couple of times but mostly it's frustrating. I clap too, but to no end. So I curse the whole thing and go to the school gate to complain. I think I should get their number next. But I wonder if it'll just make them more irresponsible.
