I'm kind of having bursts of productivity, today, interspersed with periods of falling asleep on the keyboard. I'm sadly lightweight, nowadays. Half a bottle of wine last night, at the Social Committee thank-you dinner, and I'm 50% more useless today. And this afternoon I have my temp agency Christmas party – to which I may or may not go, not yet decided. I might see if I can take tomorrow off, if I do go, because I'm going to be about as useful as a chocolate teapot. Still, parties yay.

Incidentally, I saw an actual chocolate teapot in Selfridges one year. Proper size, fully-functional. Well, aside from the fact that it would, you know, be as useful as a chocolate teapot. I was most impressed. Want to go look at Christmas shops. They're all sparkly. I think I was a magpie in a former life.

Help. I can't stay awake. Must keep writing, stave off sleep.

Need to buy presents. Not in the mood. Mum's birthday tomorrow – I've got her presents, fortunately – birthday and Christmas. Went shopping, two birds, one stone, all that. Apparently my brain has defaulted to clichés.

Can't write fic at the mo. I want to, but there's too much other stuff going on in my head. Busy at work, busy after work, knackered after helping my mum every evening last week and for 8 straight hours on Saturday with some Photoshopping and layout and proofreading stuff. She's doing this project, which I'm to tired to talk about right now, but I might when my brain has rebooted.

These annual leave spreadsheets are making no sense to me whatsoever. I'm not in the mood for dealing with Excel formulae that don't add things up to the same number as they add up to on paper. Why is it doing this to me? Whyyyyy?

Also, the stuff from the

sg1teamficathonis pretty damn stellar. Yay fic! Yay team!

Ah, I don't think they sell them any more, anyway. It was some years ago. :)

I've decided not to go to the party. I'm really not in the mood to be sociable. I'm going to go home and make Welsh Cakes instead. I live such a glam life. *g*

I went to bed at about 4:30 this morning, got up at quarter to nine, and have actually been completely functional today.

Probably for the best. I can just imagine the stomach ache I'd get from trying to eat one of those things!

I like your glam life. And I sympathize with the feeling unsocial thing - it takes effort, dammit!

^^;; I usually don't do things like that. But I figured what the hell, last assignment for the English school system, might as well make an all-nighter marathon of it! The only thing missing was the bowls of snacks and the caffeinated beverages to keep me awake (though surprisingly I managed that quite well on my own...).

It does take effort! I wish they'd had it on a different day, though, because I would have liked to have gone. I just wouldn't have enjoyed it today. Ah well.

Aw, so that's it? It seems like you were only over here briefly. Hope you've enjoyed it. :)

Yup, that's it. It's... rather sad. I'm finally settling in to life here and everything and suddenly it's December. But I greatly enjoyed my time here and I would love to live here again. Though maybe not in the winter... the lack of daylight and plethora of heavy rain showers is something I think it would take a long time to adjust to, for me at least!
