Minor observations of a small writer
My internet connection screwed up last night, meaning posting this didn't exactly work.
It's a bad habit of mine to try to 'analyse' whatever goes on around me; what's being said or done, or happening. My mother has told me on innumerable occasions that doing so is not always a good thing. It not only stalls my thought process, it leaves it going ( Read more... ) -

Apparently LJ doesn't like me posting here. I'm now in IE attempting to post something that Firefox (or LJ) wouldn't like me post. Not that it's even very much, but this isn't the first time I've had this problem. Pressing 'preview' results in nothing. No tab, no pop-up window.

They are studying their respective post-graduate courses (the ex-Psychology student doing computer programming, of all things). Reading was predictably busy for a Friday night.

It is surprising how an amount of mundane activity can focus the mind. I woke up yesterday feeling especially chaotic and demoralised. When I got into the shop in the afternoon, I spent a while rolling up and organising sheets of bubble wrap. It was surprisingly therapeutic. I need to make sure I can work Christmas Eve. I told the manager that, ( Read more... )
