In a twist of fate most cruel, I posted a reply to a comment regarding anti-virus (in response to my entry about the recent ThinkPoint conundrum), and immediately afterwards, something popped up.

. I'm walking around wearing duvets, these days. And pillows tied to my feet for insulation, because socks just aren't good enough. I'm also bathing in a formula that is 25% anti-freeze. You know - just in case.

That's awesome that you have a job! How exciting! You're like officially a big kid! :D Well, Pampers would argue that you were a big kid when you started using them, so I guess you're a bigger big kid! :)

I'm mightily chuffed. It may be unpaid work, but I can say to people 'guess what I did today IN MY JOB? The JOB which I have?'. It's brilliant :P

Ah, but what if someone was employed but still in nappies? Would that make them a big-and-a-half kid?

Without taking a break from my novel, I was probably going to end up hating it, which wouldn't have been good. With one book to finish and another two to write, I need to be on as good terms with the project as possible :P And you're right, it's overlooked. In college, I knew people who'd be constantly working and they'd burn themselves out. They could have done with a lesson in how to take a break. :P
