Time for an update

I can't believe I haven't updated my blog in almost two weeks... that's just wrong! The sad thing is, I really don't have much to report. I've been too busy correcting exams, writing essays, doing little bits of part-time work that take up more than part-time hours and drinking.

I love the holiday season, but it does have it's downsides. It really makes you want to get your work done as fast as possible so you can be on vacation, eat lotsa food and sleep-in late. It's also got the huge downside of making you severely depressed when you realize that you took on too much (again!) and that you'll be lucky if you get to spend Christmas day without reading or writing about some Dadaist theory.

This mini-depression was brought on by the fact that I accepted to do a bit of computer work for a friend of mine. I was told it would take about 6 hours... now I'm on hour 22 of data entry. It's not my friend's fault at all... it was pretty much impossible to know how long it was going to take. It just sucks that I was going to use this week to catch up on all my work so I could actually take a full week off during the holidays. The last "vacation" (meaning time where I didn't actually do any work at all for more than two consecutive days) was over three years ago. Oh well... such is life. At least I'm getting paid for it... and getting super strong fingers!

Though my Carpal Tunnel is acting up.
Winge Whine Bitch Winge Whine.

Ok I feel better now.
Back to fun with Excel file!
