Ramble-tastic
So I'm at work. It's mornings like this that I'd rather not be here. The mall as a whole is pretty dead - everyone must be waking up late this morning. And whilst I have a metric shitload of work to do, it's all the boring admin stuff, or things I have been forced to finally pull out of the "too hard" basket. And I don't like that basket at all. Maybe I'll feel more like it after a coffee...
In exciting and fun news, a rejuvenated "Ultimate Death Ray" (my pub quiz team), came storming back to form to win the quiz again last night. I'm putting it down to us having females on our team - it freaked out the competition, who are used to seeing a slightly pathetic group of geeky males, who struggle equally with Dancing with the Stars questions, and pretty much the entire Sports round. Go the XXs!
I have a bunch of ideas for that uni assignment in my head, but they are refusing to take form. Phill is providing me with some excellent guidance on this, but I think I've actually dragged it too far away from his area of expertise for him to be of much help. I'm still hoping that he and I can work on something for publication, even if it is outside of the bounds of this particular assignment. It would be an excellent start to my publishing career, and I would just love working with him.
My PhD proposal has gone absolutely nowhere. Nowhere at all. Haven't written a word. The next meeting I could be presented at is in May, but that's just looking like a pipedream at the moment. I think me and my great lady might have to go back to the original plan of working together a bunch if I'm going to have any hope of getting the work done that I need to. My other problem is that I am also falling behind in a lot of the shows that I watch, and whilst I can't define them as "course readings", they are actually pretty crucial to the work I'm doing. So I need to do a bunch of writing, a bunch of reading, and a bunch of sitting on the couch watching TV.
Possibly I should spend less time on Facebook and rambling at whoever is unfortunate enough to still be reading this. But it's unlikely to happen.
