bring out your dead

hathycolRIGHT. Depending on what version of my religious madness you'd like to take, I am either being punished by karma or possibly God is testing me. If the first is true then it will continue until I somehow atone for all the bad things I've done, which will take so long I may as well just suck it up and reincarnate as a beetle. It's a shame, I wanted to reincarnate as a sloth. (22 hours asleep a day and only waking up for food and mating? YES PLEASE.)
If I am being punished by God in the deep and personal way that only Catholics can be then if I suck it up then I may have something quite good coming. Either way there is a possibility I am being pre-emptively punished for the compensation cheque I will hopefully recieve soon or possibly the FABULOUS JOB I will get if I ever get off my arse and actually apply for said fabulous posts. Hope is a wonderful thing.
This is a roundabout way of saying 'and now I have a cold so virulent that my entire house has it in a sort of Typhoid Mary kind of way and if I'm still ill for my freebie staff party tomorrow and the Christmas Ball on Sunday I will probably just cry'. Instead I have been mostly trying not to throw up and get on with my dissertation work. On the bright side I didn't sleep properly last night which meant I never got asleep enough for my 9am meeting with my dissertation supervisor to be tricky.
Anyway. I still haven't finished my Christmas shopping - what a surprise! - and I haven't gotten any further on my dissertation for a few days, although I have some plans about remedying this today by somehow magically scribbling another 2,000 words or at least sorting out the original words that I wrote that have been vigorously edited by my supervisor. Good-o.
I wish I could have a kettle in the library.
[hooray hooray the Radio Times Christmas Edition is out! And as this year I'll be spending all but five days of the festive period in St Andrews, I can make a list and decide what to watch without the unwelcome input of my sister. Oh, that's improved matters somewhat.]
