It sure is for me, as that means I might grab a little additional "reading time". I have Cornelius Ryan's book about the Battle of Berlin, a Mao biography, H.H. Kirst's "8/15 The revolt of Corporal Asch" crying for attention on my bedside table.
What is holding me back right now is the need to read up on naval/submarine English, as I promise you British naval officers, British warships, British diplomats discussing naval issues, and one French submarine crew's tribulations. If I once again become anal-retentive about the story, you'll have to wait for additional French reaction to an unexpected successful invasion of Germany, German reaction to the aforementioned invasion, and possibly even Soviet reaction to this first month of WW2. If I were you, I'd pray I don't get anal-narrative., because the Lord knows when I'd feel the update is indeed complete.
Interesting job you've got there, I'm sure being that close to the actual politicians must give you some extra insight into those circles, always a plus for an AAR like this one...
I cannot complain too much about my job: I've had a nice career, my job puts me in a position to meet interesting people and contribute, however modestly, to interesting projects that can affect a sizable part of the population, and my work as union delegate allows me to fight some good fights (which, as time flies by, certainly satisfies some sort of Three Musketeers-like ego trip in which I'd definitely be Porthos). Venting about semi-literate Ministers and their cohort of special advisors/speechwriters is an added bonus.
But you're right, all of this probably oozes into the updates! I've seen my faire share of Ministers, Prime Ministers and aspiring Ministers, not to mention those who serve and advise them, and boy is it a rather depressing company to keep. I wish they could still be larger-than-life characters like in the old days. Today they're either more modern, more accessible or more likeable - I cannot fight the impression they are, above all, more ordinary. If anything, I'd say I'm guilty of trying to make this AAR's politicians a tad more interesting than they are today, whether for better or for worse. It's like that old Racine/Corneille debate in French literature : like Corneille with mankind in general, I probably depict politicians as they should be, instead of as they really are!
