Working or asleep
Aug. 23rd, 2012 01:08 pmWe got back from the US on Monday and since then I feel like I've either been at work or asleep (not necessarily exclusively one or the other). Yesterday I went to work at 8am, left work early for a nap, got up to have dinner, went to bed with Rose at 8 and watched iview together and half an hour later insisted that I had to go to sleep. See? No life! so now I'm trying to cross one of my "things" off the list while I'm still awake. Luckily, because we've been away for so long, none of the house things have been put back on my list yet so I'm reasonably comfortable with this lifestyle.
We didn't buy a tablet overseas - I persuaded mr-bassman to buy a pair of reading glasses at the airport, and suddenly the impetus went away. He could read his phone and we could do everything we needed, except easily update DW/LJ.
Not posting while we were away was interesting, as usual my brain would come up with a bunch of thoughts on a theme but I didn't have time or infrastructure to sit down and work out what I think and how to tell you. So I now have a collection of handwritten notes that I'm now looking for the time/space to work through, understand and communicate. Not sure when/if that's going to happen, see above re working and sleeping, but I'll keep adding to my notes anyway.
I've been pretty relaxed about work this week, but I've just hit "I've got more things to do today than I have hours" and I don't see that changing suddenly. Oh well, it was nice while it lasted.
The excitement over having a conference paper accepted has been moderated by a work directive that flights to conferences won't be paid for, I'm still working on getting my time allowed and I'll pay for the flights myself. This is too good a professional opportunity to pass up and the timing is awesome - the conference is 2 days after Knight School in Rowany and I can work in our Sydney office on the Monday. Is anyone here able to give me a bed in Sydney on Sunday and Monday 9/10 September?
