Extracts from my diary:
March, 1982.
Bad news. Practice not going so hot. Another stuff-up, drawings all wrong.
They start construction, say, What the hell this then, eh? You blind
architect or what? Things not get better either. Optometrist told me my
hyper-astigmatism now beyond reach of any glasses. Hell, it not my fault
grids look like at right-angles when not. They LOOK like they're at
right-angles. Optometrist call me orthogonally-challenged. Must be a way to
turn this to my advantage...
May, 1982
Have turned to philosophy for comfort. Have started reading this French
guy, Jonquil Doodah. He inventor of Dysfunctionism, totally revolutionary
way of doing things. He world's first totally dysfunctional philospher, he
say. At least I THINK that's what he say. Maybe he say something totally
different. But that's part of Dysfunctionism-- you can't tell what he on
about. If you can, you not really Dysfunctional.
