jabbering on

we spend a hell of a lot of time talking about doing work, discussing how much pressure we're under, and it's beginning to feel like we're focused more on the amount of work sitting on our plate than we are on reducing it.

i was still out of it today, and in a desperate bid for the return of my ability to function i consumed two cups of coffee and lots of sugar during the day. and my bid paid off - just after calling it a night my brain reactivated, and i'm feeling much better.

no chips for me this morning, meetings, re-education, a long shopping trip, dinner, and then i could actually begin to sit down and work... apparently quite a large portion of the work that i've *just* completed (and haven't stopped complaining about) will have to be redone in a just-not-similar-enough format.

discovered today that the kid's passport's problematic... that's a wonderful thing to find out when we're leaving in five days. buggrit.

i seem to have gotten over my initial horror, two girls one finger and four girls fingerpaint didn't freak me out completely. if you haven't seen any of the videos, do yourself a huge favour and DON'T.

i've begun reading the first clive barker - books of blood instalment. i've bought the registration package for the psychometric exams. these two pieces of information are completely unrelated.

i hear flight of the conchords in the lounge, so i must go.
