Back to the world of dreams
Back at work now, at it isnt anywhere near as awful as I was expecting it to be. Obviously I'm the type who needs a job to do otherwise he goes nuts and depressed. Perfect to have around when domestic chores need leaving behind, but stick me near the word 'project' and I'm away. Nice......
Anyhow, it's obviously the case of having had too much time to think over jury service. Or rather, not think in an objectively logical and rational manner, rather create fantasy scenes in my head and then compare them to real life and lo, get depressed when real life cant hold a candle to the tap-dancing mooses and free canapes for all (!). So, far from hitting rock bottom now that I'm back at work, I've actually perked up somewhat and am getting my groove on. Well, at least at the moment, whilst the going is still slow. One thing for a job in chemistry (or experimental sciences in general) is that you cant just dive straight back in at the deep end, it all takes time!
First thing to do yesterday was a nice clean up. We've got the health and safety lot coming round to criticise us, and I have to say, working in a cleaner labspace is so much nicer than a mucky mess. There will be lots of very hard trying to keep it this way, especially since we're all doubling up and rubbish at the moment, I think I'll instigate enforced tidying on myself, such that nothing gets left out at the end of the day.....how long will it last, d'you think?
Not much been going on in life otherwise, I'm getting mildly concerned about my teeth which are more sensitive than usual; this is the highlight. Enjoying the warm weather, but not the sweltering conditions that are now achieved in the lab-cum-greenhouse I work in (badly planned with the windows, there), and still being loved-up with Patrick - a very odd feeling, but a good one.
Nearly the end of the week! So looking forward to the weekend, where I can sleep in and all that; sleeping is so much fun these days.
