Every now and again life goes a bit spastic. This is one of those times.
Work is re-organising, and stress is everything. My position is pretty much untouched, I just sit down here and watch the machinations above me. But the machine is grinding up people, making them stressed and worried and scared, and so I cannot stay unmoved. The process has instantaneously politicised our workplace.
And then there are the applications. There have been so few for so long, but suddenly there are so many, and some of them are so strange! Another bear application - who would have thought bears would be such an issue?
The thesis plugs along, I ain't bothering it and it ain't bothering me.
But I have to give another talk, and this time I have to give a science one, so I need graphs and tables, and even worse, I need to find out enough about my own graphs and tables to be able to answer questions about them...
Today is our wedding anniversary, 9 years now. We both forgot this morning.
Tomorrow R gets a medal for 15 years 'long service and good Cduct'. I am taking the afternoon off to watch the parade. It is the only project in our house longer lasting than the thesis...

Posted by: iona at August 28, 2003 08:46 AMThe surprising thing to me is the level of happy in the marriage - who would have thought we'd enjoy this most of the time?

Posted by: iona at August 28, 2003 11:05 AMActually, I don't think I knew at the time - its such a gamble, getting married. Everybody changes, who knows whether you are going to change in tandem?
