I croaked for hlh_shortcuts, which was a pity. The most annoying thing about it though is that I *have* been writing - for consci_fan_mo - but I could not get a non-crossover Highlander muse to show itself in time to inspire a fic for someone else. Lesson learned there, I think - I can only write to deadlines if it's for myself (which I found out with Torchwood Big Bang)!
I'm not feeling Christmassy either - I haven't had *time* to feel like that, and work doesn't help. In its wisdom our hospital has decided that Christmas Decorations are an infection risk and aren't allowed in ward areas, so we don't have anything on the ward bar a very sad fibre-optic tree in our waiting room. Also, because the lovely PTB didn't remember that going digital means you can't get telly from an aerial without a digibox we don't have a single functioning TV on the ward and haven't since November so no Christmas telly for staff or patients. Thank you Mr Chief Exec for being so thoughtful. We also don't have radio or cds as our player broke and there is no money to spend on the staff to get another. So no Christmas music either - though I have threatened them with carols in Latin...
As I'm working 24th-27th I'm not feeling very enthusiastic about doing stuff outside of work either. My days off on 22nd and 23rd are going to be a blur of last minute shopping, cleaning, making candles, wrapping presents and a trip up to Cumbria to see my parents (and drop off the presents for the rest of the family).
Still, I'm looking forward to going to Preston on the 28th to see Blue Gillespie, even if I am in work the next day!
As for cutting yourself on a biscuit box, at least it wasn't a biscuit!
