The outpourings of a deranged mind

Off Day

For some reason I’ve been quite tired of late. I think it’s got a lot to do with the amount of caffeine I drank on Friday. I’ve also had a weekend of carrying kids about, carrying lots of heavy camera equipment about and lots of fresh sea air. Net result is I slept for over 13 hours last night, woke up at lunch time and am now waiting to find out when my new desk (which should have arrived days ago, but due to problems processing the order - not the payment, mind you, just the order - I was expecting today) is actually going to arrive. The lateness of waking up and the lack of desk arrival has really thrown today into disarray. Now I need to decide if I waste the rest of it playing Oblivion, or if I retire to the bedroom and read my book on CSS (my comfy reading sofa has all the stuff that should go on the desk piled on it). While the latter option is more productive, neither of them are going to help me sort the 2000+ photos from the weekend that I need to go through. I guess the other option is to be a real doley and just go back to bed :D

    As you are technically on Garden Leave perhaps you should actually weed the window box.

    Not having a window box this could be problematic. I do have 3 pots containing grasses (weed free), one pot containing dead grass and one pot containing dead something else. I’ll replace the latter two at some point when it’s less miserable and I don’t have to wait around like an idiot waiting for a desk that probably isn’t going to come today.

    Play oblivion, it’s great :-)

    I actually went for the CSS book option, which I’ve now read enough of to contemplate making custom themes for all my websites. See, it’s not all just lounging around enjoying myself :D

    [...] Earlier today I categorically stated that I had no gardening to do as, although I have no window box, my few pots contained 3 weed free grasses and two dead things. Upon closing my curtains and turning my lights on (because, unlike others I could mention, I don’t live in permanent gloom once the sun starts going down) I noticed that there was in face a weed in one of my live grasses… and that one of my dead things is now home to a weed.

    Sometimes there is such a thing as too much sleep. Weird, I know, but its true. 13 hours sounds amazing tho :)

    I think in the recent case it was much more a case of ‘not enough sleep’ :D

    Hmmm… CSS… Something I have so often dabbled with and subsequently given up on through frustration.

    I’m SO glad I got out of the web design business when I did! Networks are so much more predictable :)
