Survive November and the first 9 days of December

I think this might just be ok. I can write 500 words of dense analysis on a weekday, more at the weekend and then there’s some headwind to fill out my sails with the pilot report to take in. Researching and writing at the same time can work well, although the literature review requires yet more reading away from the computer. There are 8 days to go, there may even be a little light at the end of the tunnel if I can hold everything else at bay for long enough.

Now I wonder if there’s any truth in the rumour that the reason why we’re being pressure cooked like this is so that the remote LFs can conveniently enjoy the Ultralab Xmas party?

There’s a 6,000 word report to write from scratch

A 4,000 word report to complete

A pilot exhibition to put on

An action research project to progress

Lots of literature to read

More planning to undertake

Compulsory online conversations to contrive

4 other people’s work to peer review.

two birthdays.

Registration and finance problems

All of this on top of EveryDayLife which is hard enough anyway..

And a lot of unneeded harrassment from all quarters.

It’s a race against time. If I survive until May 2006 then I can redesign my lifestyle to spend less time on these unhealthy computers. But if I’ve already gone completely bonkers by then, I could make all the wrong decisions – if there are any. When I die, I would like to leave my mind to science for use as a case study.
