 Woopsie, it’s already four months since my last post. But I mean to write something every day - and then it’s work work work and I go home to the nice sofa and the brain turns to mush.

Suddenly in late October there was an unforeseen spate of field assignments, followed by hectic report writing. At least the nasty hemmorrhage I was plagued by almost continuously since late May held up for a couple of months so I could actually _do_ field work. For a while there I feared I would have to resign due to not being able to perform required work. But hey, it was just a temporary respite, now it’s back to normal again! So much blood!

Which is pretty much what I would have written every day so just as well I didn’t eh?

Here’s a picture of the 17th century fortress next to my office. I took it at 2am one morning when the alarm went off and the security firm didn’t call back to say all was OK (it was). No one knows what set it off - maybe it was bored or felt unappreciated?

Still not quite "all there" after Eastercon. What a fantastic weekend it was!

"Party Animals" starring Matt Smith started last night. Since I'm still geared to night-work time it was no trouble staying up late and watching him be, yes, fantastic. He's already the Doctor! Of whom there will be more soon.

Tomorrow we're starting work at 0700, ugh. Hopefully the crazy times will be over then; just the collating and reporting to be done. And all the other projects whose deadlines are piling up this month. Yay...

Luckily, I've got Jelly Babies to calm me down.

Seems all this working odd hours is upsetting to some people. I can't go to meeting scheduled at evenings, because that's when we start our shifts. Nothing I can do about that. Sorry if it upsets you, but I prioritise doing my work before going to con meetings, where everything's more or less decided already anyway. So there.

If only my work also consisted of smashing neighbours' annoying EPs that they run on repeat all day long!
