Mediocre at best - Eaglemont

Dear diary,

whats up dawg. I don’t have any radical content for you today so here is a sexy ass list. 

Books to read to someone who wont read the books you suggest:

a beginners guide to the books that formed me, in no particular order.

by me.

and your mum.

Jonathan Livingston Seagull, Richard Bach

A short story that celebrates and explores what it means to be outside the main group. Heartbreaking/warming, inspiring/terrifying. Set on the rough coast of the ocean, you find yourself immersed in the most unlikely of stories. 

I’ll Give You The Sun, Jandy Nelson

Young adult romance/coming of age. Pivotal in my self discovery journey. Two stories following popularity, queerness, grief, acceptance and art. Another coastal setting. 

If I Tell You, Alicia Tuckerman

A book that ripped out my heart. Romance and grief, running from time and creating a time where you have the opportunity to explore and find yourself. Australian Queer Young Adult, hard to find and easy to relate to. 

All the Bright Places, Jennifer Niven 

Mental illness, fear around being given a label, running away from yourself, the pain of loving someone who leaves. Recovery and re-destruction. Sad, beautiful, inspiring, leaves you with a desire to find beauty in the well-known. 

About a Girl, Joanne Horniman 

Australian Queer Young Adult, escaping what you know and submerging yourself in independence, love, music, literature and a life after school. Everything I’m dreaming of. Beautifully written, feels like home. 

Sophie’s World, Jostein Gaarder

A mystery around philosophy and the world we know, I never finished it, but it has stuck with me. Read in small doses. 

To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee

Famous work of literature (and well deserved), through a queer critical analyses, the novel holds the story of a girl born in the wrong time, learning about injustices and the way of human behaviour. A book to grow up alongside and learn lessons from. 

Wild Pork and Watercress, Barry Crump

A beautiful journey of escape from the real world and living off the land, a story of unlikely friendship and growth. 

How It Feels To Float, Helena Fox

A journey of grief, illness, sexuality and Australian made, this book describes connections with those who need them, something read in a sitting, no matter how many hours it takes. Gentle and harsh at the same time, giving emphasis to the ebb and flow of coping. 

Light Bulb, Nevo Zisin (a short story from Kindred, 12 Queer #LoveOzYA stories)

Beautiful. Find yourself, explore the darkness. Haunting. Important.

I prefer not to.

I haven’t always been an account weenie; I spent my formative years pursuing a graduate degree in literature, with the idea of becoming a college professor, reading the great and not-so-great English and American authors.  Among the not-so-great was Frederick Goddard Tuckerman, on whom I wrote my Master’s thesis; among the great was Herman Melville, author of the enduing classic, Moby Dick, plus the nearly-as-great-but-not-quite-as-famous short story, Bartleby, the Scrivener.

I’m thinking about Bartleby as I consider my brother-in-law Paul’s third question, which is about time, meaning not having enough of it:  

“There is also this sense of always on.  Always available.  I don’t know about you, but this mindset is exhausting.  One can literally not get any downtime to recharge and regroup.”

I get this.  Paul, like many if not most of us, works from home; I could argue the time he used to typically spend preparing for work – shower, shave, dress, drive -- is now saved as he walks a few steps to his computer.  Doesn’t this compensate?

It doesn’t.  If anything, it might actually make things harder.

I could take myself as a test case, proclaiming the benefit of working for me, without a boss other than me, without needing to navigate office politics, without having to do work I don’t love.  But I’m years older than Paul, making year-after-year deposits in the working world’s bank account, as he is doing right now, to earn the freedom to do as I please.

All of which is to say, this is a non-starter too.

But, as is often the case, the answer to the dilemma is embedded in Paul’s own observation; he points out,

“The firm wants to make up for lost ground, and in so doing, we grind out work and crush our staff.  In my group alone, we have had 30% attrition in the last 8 months.  At all levels.  How can we set boundaries?”

Let’s talk about Bartleby then.

When asked to help proofread a document at the place where he works, Bartleby responds with what soon would become his standard reply.  "I would prefer not to."   Bartleby confounds his boss (the story’s narrator), alienates his two scrivener colleagues, and methodically removes himself from all responsibility, his recalcitrance firm and unyielding.  He comes to an unfortunate end:  he dies.

I doubt Paul, let alone many of you, will agree with the counsel I’m about to offer – he’s too responsible, too willing to help others, too unwilling to say no when asked – but neither he, nor you, are Bartleby.  Bartleby had no leverage; Paul does, and you likely do too.

The next time someone asks you take on yet another assignment on top of the too many you’re already working on, to work nights and days that extend well beyond the nights and days you’re already working, or makes any other unreasonable, impossible-to-fulfill demand, remember that with attrition rates soaring – Paul claims it’s 30%; I’ve heard even more alarming departure numbers -- and the battle for skilled people growing, with no end in sight, you don’t have to accede to whatever is being asked of you. Instead, you can say, “I can’t; you’ll need to find another solution.”

When Paul wonders, “How can we set boundaries,” my best answer, no matter how inadequate it might seem, is to advise being a bit like Bartleby.

Making your reply, “I prefer not to.”

London fire: just last year, Tory landlord-MPs rejected Labour's tenant safety law

The death-toll on London's Grenfell Tower fire continues to mount, it's worth remembering that there are no "natural disasters," only human disasters, created by people who weigh different interests in the balance and create policies based on the way the scales come up.

So it was that a year ago, a group of Tory MPs largely composed of commercial landlords voted down Labour's amendment to the Housing and Planning Bill that would have required landlords to make their properties safe and "fit for human habitation."

The British landlord industry delivers remarkably poor value for money, thanks to the combination of a seller's market for housing, the systematic dismantling of tenancy protections, and the absurd "freeholder" system that means that even people who own their homes have landlords whom they have to pay "ground rent" to and then beg for maintenance.

Our own landlords, Tuckerman, routinely take six months or more literally to fix a broken light in a stairwell -- they represent a "social housing" enterprise that bought our building as a for-profit investment, and have subcontracted our maintenance to a third party, Metro, whom they point their fingers at and shrug when months tick by without routine maintenance being completed while we stumble up and down the stairs in the dark.

In discussing this with other Britons, I've discovered that it's absolutely normal and par for the course. When something terrible goes on for years without a solution, you come to realise that the situation is a feature and not a bug for the people in charge.

There are no natural disasters, only human ones.
