I'm so fucking tired & I've got to do a presentation of my dissertation today.
ffs. All I can think of is going back to bed!

Good luck, SB, I'm sure it'll wake you up once you get going.

lol!

New season starts in the next couple of weeks and we are frantic. Yous might have noticed that Cornwall has been battered constantly for weeks now. Nearly all my winter work this year has been weather dependent and I am quite a way behind where I should be with it. Very very touch and go if we'll be fully ready for customers
That's causing me some stress....
Added to that, this close to opening, I still don't actually know what I'll be doing this year. I know I'm on steel and woodwork till March but not what I'm doing after that. The crazy thing is that people coming to work here for the first time will already know what their job will be.
This is because there are still HOD meetings going on to finalize exactly what structure they're gonna have this year and who does what.
Mostly it will be the same but my particular team, is changing. They just haven't decided exactly how yet....and that stresses me.
Mostly because a while ago I was offered a job working with the livestock this year. I'd have liked that. I replied that I couldn't decide until I knew what job I as going to be offered in my team....and I still don't know. And the animal job has had to be filled so I don't have that to 'fall back on'...
The manager, who is also now a friend, is making all the right noises and saying stuff like, don't worry, I'm looking after ya, just don't want to give you half a story. But I feel a bit like I'm being kept on a leash at the moment....

No doubt next week he will come to me and recognise my excellence by making me 'lord of fucking everything' and my stress will recede. Here and now though...

I feel for you, Dubs. But if your boss likes you, he probably will make sure you're happy with what you're doing.

I've started a new job this week, coz I was sick of waiting for the last firm to get back, like they promised faithfully they would do in January, with a permanent contract after my fixed term one ended at the end of last year.

And t'new un's got no customised computer systems like I'm used to having. It's just mountains of paper documents and a billion lever arch files, and a whole array of accounts that are meant to be handled differently depending on the type, and nobody available to give any training, and very little discernible logic to anything. And everything's duplicated coz you write on forms then have to be type it on spread sheets as well.

I've wanted to do this (except imagine it such that the desk can't be seen because there's too much sodding paper...



But I've felt happier today, because the manager's been full of compliments. I'm still sulking a bit though, coz I like it.

What's all this zoned in & out business?

Edit: Ah, I see it's depending whether you're online or not.... very neat.
I'm curious as to whether or not I'm still zoned in if I've just got the tab open but looking at something else.

Thinking about it is a very good place to start.

"Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the Cat.
"I don't much care where –" said Alice.
"Then it doesn't matter which way you go," said the Cat.
"– so long as I get somewhere," Alice added as an explanation.
"Oh, you're sure to do that," said the Cat, "if you only walk long enough."

Last new psychedelic i got to know was salvia...
Very interesting. Especially how it interacts with different folk in different ways.

Some of the salvia trips I've seen have put me off a bit to be honest. Although I would like to, I don't think I'd try LSD purely because of the lack of safety taking something potentially made by some dodgy fucker that could kill you.

I reckon I'd go for mushies, au natural as it were.

I'm at a good place in my life (spiritually at least) so I think now would be a good time. I wouldn't anticipate a bad trip.

Thanks for t'advice guys.
