I had a lot of people-time this weekend, and it's been awfully fun. I've been hanging out with Office-Mate-Nath, who is lovely and clever and fun, and I also met her friend Helen, who is similarly wonderful. *waves* I've also had family-time, and not-so-new-friend time, and have felt terribly appreciative of the amazing people that I have around me.

Oddly, perhaps, my people-worry has also been rather high - I seem to be spending an awful lot of time fretting that I have offended people, or talked too much, etc etc. Increasingly, this seems like something that I really should work out how to do less. It is not the most fun ever.

I have been thinking that perhaps the reason I'm fretting so much is because my anxiety levels are generally high, what with the thesis-worry getting larger every day. I really do need to finish it soon. Hopefully now that I'm not teaching it will be easier to get on with writing.

Today I feel productive - I finished my marking, and now I'm going to do my Greek homework and then get on with writing. And I have an office-mate today, so the office doesn't feel all abandoned. Hurrah!

Oh hai!

I've had even more of this than usual recently. I'm blaming Young People and/or the weather.

Oh, I hadn't thought of blaming Young People. It is because of their improper use of language, and their short skirts, and their shivving of Respectable People.

Yes, yes it is. And if you feel like a change, you can alternatively blame Baby Boomers, Tories or A Cultural Legacy Of Imperialism.

This is how I get through the day!

Perhaps if I was quieter and more encouraging of thesis-works, you would have less thesis-fretting to do? (See, I people-worry too...). I shall stock up on fret-free snacks!

You are a lovely office-mate! We have a nice balance of quiet-times and chatting times now. Like now, when it is quiet times and you are all tippety-tapping, and I am too, so that is why I'm writing to you on livejournal :)

i'm particularly anxiety prone (such a useless emotion but still i can't stop anxious-ing!) and like this quotation:

"Anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows but only empties today of its strength".

It's on post-it note by my laptop. :P

I should add that to my desk-stuff!
