![]() I worked on Wednesday because they wanted me along for a work field trip, so I changed my day off to today without any micro-manager giving me shit about it. Two or three clients (internal colleagues) who were frustrated because no one got back to them on certain issues (due to someone else leaving and there being no back up) were made happy by me because I was either able to solve something for them or at least able to listen to them, promising to look into the problem. A new manager started the same day I did, had a talk with her yesterday, and she feels worlds removed from being a micro-manager, which is excellent news. But I can also safely say it’s been good, the people have been very nice to me, they have waited to start certain projects until I’d be around and I feel welcome. New jobs are exhausting! The amount of information and complexity of issues and getting to know the people and trying to get a feel for the place with its (unspoken) rules can be somewhat overwhelming at times. The first one, with only season 3 clips, from when I first started watching the show… Looking back at them, there are some I would do differently now but I do have two favourites of the ones I’ve made. I made several fan videos about Jane and Lisbon (in those days I used “Hannah” as a pseudonym), they have their own page here on my blog. I swear that smile is the most infectious smile I know. When Simon Baker flashed that wide Patrick Jane grin I often found myself grinning back at the screen. ![]() Of course, there’s also the vest (gosh, he looked sexy in his vest!) and the hair and that smile. This juxtaposition of glee and tragedy is what makes Jane such a fascinating character, a man with flaws and all but still lovable. The former fake psychic turned police consultant used unusual, often amusing, methods (to the exasperation of Lisbon) but was also hell bent on taking revenge on serial killer Red John who had killed his wife and daughter. I got hooked on the charm, smarts and devious mind of Patrick Jane (Simon Baker) who helped detective Teresa Lisbon (Robin Tunney) solve murders in California. There were to be 7 seasons in total, ending in 2015. I caught up to season 3, which was then airing, and from then on faithfully, feverishly awaited each new season and episode. From the first episode that I saw, I was hooked. I started watching this show because a colleague at the time (in 2011) recommended it. Patrick Jane (Simon Baker) from The Mentalist. ![]() Ah, the way he and I could change the world together! And he sure can kiss… I just had to pick a character portrayed by Richard Armitage and I considered Harry Kennedy from The Vicar of Dibley because he just feels so familiar, like I could know him in real life, or John Porter from Strike Back, a tough guy who can think for himself, but in the end I would just go for John Thornton. OK, on to the challenge: which 7 fictional characters am I so in love with that I could marry them?ġ. So, actors can not be completely ignored and characters played by my favourite actors are naturally on this list. I know actors of course do influence my choice because favourite characters lead to favourite actors for me and vice versa. The rule is that it’s all about the character and not about the actor who portrays him (all men, in my case). I’m always one to fantasize, so I figured I’d just jump in and join the challenge as well. Nell participated in a challenge on her blog to name 7 fictional characters that she would marry on the spot (this is originally a challenge from another German blogger).
