Maybe I should start offering drabbles to anyone who can give me the character saying/context of my subject lines :) Might get me writing again...

Having Monday off has completely thrown my week. It's...Wednesday...today? Possibly? I've also lost my profile on the network, so none of my shortcuts are in the right place, my taskbar is all wrong and the day seems very baffling. On the plus side, the chestnut tree outside my office window is coming into full leaf, the sun is shining beautifully, and my cold is definitely on the way out.

Oh, and while I think of it, I don't know if you can get the iPlayer outside the UK, but I'm really enjoying Horse People. Alexandra Tolstoy annoyed me at first, but she obviously adores horses and copes when a lot of people would just back off. I didn't get to see the Siberia episode, but the Andalucia one was very good, as is the Montana one. It's as much about the people as the horses, and the insights into cultures where the car is not completely king is fascinating.

Today's list )

ETA: My mother has mastered *asterisks* for actions in emails. This gives me a warm snuggly feeling :D

ETA2: I just got a phone call from Armenia. That's a new one...
jadesfire: Bright yellow flower (Text - One person a day)
We're down 3 staff members for most of this week, and I only have 2 weeks to clear out the last of my work before leaving. Naturally this means I have no interest whatsoever in getting things done. Even SGA podfic isn't quite cutting it for motivation right now, although the live clips of the V-festival on Virgin Radio's website helped a little. Anyone wanting to give me a kick up the backside pep talk is more than welcome to. The main problem is that when I feel like this, all I want to do is eat, preferably everything in sight, and preferably all day. Argh. There aren't even lots of readers here to keep me busy - September is always dead in the library, so it's like working in a ghost town. I'm going to have to go out at lunchtime (I usually stay in to save money) if only to stop myself going stark raving mad. Madder.

ETA: Well, I solved the 'what to listen to' problem. I found live coverage of Gustav from a LA radio station. Certainly takes my mind off my own problems...




Since this generally works, I've put a list below of all the stuff I want to get done, preferably by the end of tomorrow. It's quite a long list, but I think I can get through it...
