Have had the busy well and truly this past week. Apart from the usual nonsense of study study and worky worky, I’ve had a major meeting that I had to prep for, two classes of papers to mark, a freelance assignment due, an ethics application to complete and submit, a 6-month report to write and get reviewed and signed, a playtest game to prep, run, and report on, another meeting to prep for, a friend’s housemove to assist, and a job interview.
I sat down on the afternoon of 22 May (last Thurs) to write all of those deadlines in a list, then carefully figured out how I could possibly get them all done. I must have done my sums right because it’s a week later and everything got done and I also returned a mystery postcard to its owner, watched the last episodes of The Wire, and joined in a trashy film fest with the Knifeman.
Was not perfect. I missed a birthday party I really wanted to go to, turned up to some farewell drinks but was confused enough not to find the farewell-ee despite apparently walking right past their table a couple of times, and did not reply to a letter from overseas that really deserves a swift response. Plus, didn’t get all the study done I wanted to.
Still. I’m glad I’m in this Wednesday instead of last Wednesday. Last Wednesday was kind of intimidating.

You watched a movie about an Italian cop with a violent moustache and attitude to match.
Morgue, I am awestruck. I have never once completed everything on a to do list and mine is nothing like so full on. What’s your advice to us struggling under-acheivers (too late for don’t have kids).
Man, it seems like forever since I’ve caught up with you. Your finger almost healed?
Pearce: and Gadzookie vs. the Matrix!
karen: advice mostly revolves around not sleeping, holding a knife to the throat of your reflection, and having a very supportive partner. That sort of thing…
Jon: it has. I hardly see anyone these days, to be honest. Finger doing okay, but still a month or so before it’ll be sport ready I think.
Too late for the supportive partner too… and I’m already not sleeping. Guess I’ll just have to muddle on:-)
