Turning over a stone

Trying to finish stuff up at work, and it's like turning over a stone to find a whole bunch of interesting mud underneath. And now I have to investigate it - more time, more worry! It's exciting, but I kinda want to just draw a line and move on. Even if moving on is in fact moving back to the project I initially started two years ago, but needs to be given a nice finish too. So it's like going over the same ground again to collect the whole gamut of publishable data. Scientists will know what I'm talking about. For others, it's like being asked to dig out your bank statements from 5 years ago, but not being able to and having to reconstruct them from a big pile of receipts you saved 'just in case'.

So all in all, I have a lot to do, and that's even without considering the whole job hunting gaffe. Anyone want a part-time share in my life? I'll pay in cakes, and you get the use of my psyche at the weekend if you like.

P is out meeting a new friend this evening, so I don't quite know what to do with myself. Should log on to WoW, but am feeling a bit like I should be doing something more active. Though I did walk home in the pissing rain. I think the exercise is actually good for me, though it rapidly it has already become a chore. Can't wait for the weekend. I want to show P a little bit of a good time, for putting up with me miseryguts these past few weekends, but I'm not sure what to do. Suggestions welcome, but bear in mind I don't want to blow my well-started sensible spending! I want to buy him things without giving the impression that I resent it.

Time to finish off my veggie stir-fry. Yum.
