My life in numbers
Work 7/10 Work is keeping me afloat. By afloat, I mean running around like an idiot, because as of today, I now have four jobs for the price of one. I'm still doing my actual job, plus providing cover for the theatre, managing the offsite project (come and see it, it's ace!) and my boss has gone on holiday so I am also technically him for the next two weeks. It's all just about ok, however I'm waiting to see what will happen if/when the wheels fall off. Currently I have managed to solve the Great Heating Crisis of Last Week, the Double Booking of Unable To Use Excel and the What Is This Thing And Why Is It On My Desk of mostly everday. Today I am battling the Rota Of Why Does No-one Answer Their Phone?
Love 0/10 Broke up. It is bad. That's about it.
Friends 9/10 You know who you are. And you are great. I am sorry I have not been able to see you (see "work" above) or spend any meaningful time with you, but at some point soon I shall return to Planet Earth.
Family 8/10 My brother becomes a Doctor on Friday. I greet this news with mixed feelings, firstly a woo and yay cos he has worked so hard for it and overcome the labyrinthine Italian education system, an absentee superviser plus doing battle with the Elements Of Space itself. The grumble is down to my own selfish desire to have a phd of my own, but until someone considers literature as worthy of funding as Poper Science that is not going to happen. Mum and Dad are due down for a visit in November, when hopefully the world will be a bit less full of theatre and I can spend some quality time with them, rather than phone time. Am aiming for a more relaxed and less visit-everything type stay than beforehand.
Made Up Life 4/10 Have not been able to do much or generate sufficient quantities of enthusiasm for any projects that are not strictly required of me. Am hoping that this will pick up at some point.
Misc 5/10 I've been experimenting with my iphone camera (by which I mean waving it at things and then pressing a button) and have got some reasonable results, even branching out into non-food related items, including some shots of the venue after dark, it's a really interesting, creepy space - a decomissioned school, now multi-purpose. Additionally someone reminded me that it is now MID OCTOBER and I have not made my Christmas cake yet, so that's this weekend sorted.
