I am back home in the UK after my trip to America! I've been back for a few days, but I was tiiiiired. And am still tired, so this will be a bit of a lame trip write-up, but I am sure noone will mind me doing a short write-up.

Things irking me this week:

1. If I change my research to accommodate your work, it's NOT COOL to encroach on my area. Go do a crappy job on the stuff you were so keen to keep for yourself, because making me sympathise when you get emo about the fact you cannot do in a week what took me a year is extremely trying.
2. Planning projects and doing them in a ( Read more... )

Things this week which have made me go grrr:

• The family planning nurse telling me in a disapproving tone of voice that it was 'drastic' to have my IUS removed on the grounds it is giving me acne. WTF, woman, I've had it five years. Also, my body, kthxbai.

If you're lucky enough to have a vote in today's election, use it with pride! I hear there are some tasty goodies available for those of you as ( Read more... )

Wow, it is already nearly Monday *tries to deny* Where did my weekend go? I swear time speeds up over the weekend. I had so much I wanted to get done this weekend, too, and it has just not happened *regards Sam/OFC work-not-enough-in-progress sadly ( Read more... )

This has been a long week *blinks bleary-eyed at computer screen* Thank goodness it is finally the weekend ( Read more... )

Disorganised as usual, I completely failed to manage a round-up of 2007 before the year actually ended, never mind a New Year post within sneezing distance of the start of 2008. Oh well - a belated Happy New Year, everyone! I hope that everyone had a good time over the holiday period and 2008 is treating people well so far.

So, a while ago (oh god, I just checked when it was and it really was ages ago) I asked people for prompts and promised drabbles. And they are... still not done.The prompt thing worked in terms of giving me loads of ideas for those scenarios, but my muse is just really not co-operating at the moment. I have that thing where I sit down to write and ( Read more... )
