Re: yo yo

I'm posting drunk, grumpy post-meal pics of myself on facebook. I am really grumpy tonight. Not only did I forget I am vegetarian and eat calfs liver (or a mouthful of it because it was truly disgusting) but I stuffed my face so much I can hardly breath.

I have a shady past Barrett. Ha! Not really. I was an artist for a while after University but could literally not make a penny from my art, except from being a life model at the University (which is not being an artist really is it?) and eventually had to get a real job. I kind of fell into law, so to speak. As you know, I'm astonishingly bright and basically started working at my friend-from-the-gyms law firm (yes it sounds like a Hollywood movie, but it is in fact my life) To practice human rights law one needs only to take a few exams with this lot http://www.clt.co.uk/courselist/3130 et voila, I was working as an asylum/refugee lawyer within a few months. I loved it - totally and utterly. Its the most satisfied I have ever been. I would drive home at night singing. The thing about working at ones friends law firm is that if you fall out with each other you're fucked. And we fell out big time (over some emails...) I won't go into detail but I ended up suing for constructive dismissal. Won a fucking huge settlement but was left with no job (obvs) I'm solvent for the time being but will soon have to start scouting for jobs. So I have quite a bit of free time - at least for the next few weeks. It does mean I have to time my gym visits for when my ex-friend is not there - I think she may run me over with her Ferrari. Or poison my water.

I know a LOT about refugees, I've met real ones! Real muslims (and they're not all awful, just most of them) The non-practising ones are darlings. Thats how I met Saddam Husseins bodyguard - he was fast tracked through the asylum system because he basically informed on his boss and the UK government rewarded him with refugee status. I have a million and one stories about refugees that would break your heart. We really do not know we are born living in the West. Seriously. Do I sound like someone you could work with?

Now tell me your secret! ( I wont tell ANYONE) I promise.

I'm replying to your Facebook message here as it's more secure.

Don't worry about the technical stuff, I don't know anything about programming either; mostly I'm just supervising to make sure that my schematic is properly implemented, but beyond that I leave it to them. But at any rate you understand the schematic, which is fundamentally simple, and the software-oriented talk will be over fairly soon anyway.

When the blog software is ready, we can hook your blog up with the widget I described in my first e-mail so you can be in the network with our other bloggers. Also, based on your fist post, I know you work for some sort of organization involving immigrants to England or some such (and that's very admirable of you, nobility being rare among our age group), but what exactly do you do? As I probably mentioned, we'll have some need for you in our Africa program which you'll receive more info on presently (and which won't take much time), but if you keep checking in with the IRC channel, you'll quickly be brought up to speed on our more general work and can assist in advancing Project PM overall - which is what I'd like, as you would be most useful to me working with myself and the half-dozen advisors who assist me in running all of this.

Now, for the important part - if I tell you something else about this project that is a secret even to many of our most active participants, will you promise me not to repeat it to anyone else without my go ahead?
