It's really got that bad.... No entries for so long that it the page is literally BLANK.... Well, I've been denying myself blogtime in a bid to stay ahead of work, an increasingly impossible, Sisyphean labour: the more work I do, the more I seem to need to do. I was determined to be REALLY ORGANIZED this college year and not fall into my usual habit of chaos mismanagement --- but it's congenital. I just can't stay sorted out. I HATE ADMINISTRATION... That's partly because I am incapable of doing it, suffering from a stupefyingly disabling level of absent-mindedness. I tried to write a brief note to a colleague today and I had to make FIVE ATTEMPTS to do it. Just a few lines... Handwriting anything is near-impossible for me now... I think I might have attention deficit disorder....
Work. It's never going to go away. Everyone has to do it.
I know, I know. Doesn't make it any better, does it?
I haven't got much else to talk about at the moment. But I wanted to break radio-silence, in part because of kind enquiries from Mr Ingram and Mr Reynolds.

Posted by: Baal at November 6, 2003 10:50 PMNo I wouldn't do a runner; although I might end up not being able to post for one reason or another.
Massive thanks Baal.

Posted by: Tim at November 7, 2003 10:25 AMyeah i was about to remind that usual procedure is THREATENING to give it up and deleting all the archives, you're not supposed to actually DO IT!
Posted by: luke at November 7, 2003 10:54 AMDelete the archives. Now that's a thought. Or perhaps go through it all and save only the essence. In my case I think it'd be about a paragraph.
