Nineteen hour workday! 9.30am to 4.30 am the next day!

Kill me now.

Please.

Seriously hon, you need less work and more sleep/ Though you're a sensible woman, you likely realise this without my brilliant advice.

Evelyn War?

Poor Vaysh! I hope that, like me, you have next week off and a good masseuse across the road. Let us not forget the excellent chocolate tart form the local bakery that has acted as a fine restorative!

It was dreadful. I even threatened to strangle a student at one point, not my finest hour! Solidly improving this week, thanks to daily sleep-ins!

Yes, yes it is!

I used to have a boyfriend who would clean my house while I was out at work. I regularly kick myself for letting him go.

HAHAHAHAHAHAH! That's right, I actually forgot all about the Worldcup palaver I was so stuffed. Remind me again why we do this to ourselves?

The grammatically and logically marvellous lurker -- I was SO wishing that your powers extended to the muppets whose work I was editing.

Happily I have given myself this week off for sleeping and sewing. I seem to have accomplished bugger all due to waking up at 2pm every day. And yet, I'm not that upset by this ...

No, you're a genius, one pillow AND I SMOTHER THE BAD JOURNALISTS!!!

I am so sorry you have to do this regularly, I would be a slathering homicidal maniac after a few rounds of it. I was especially outraged when some of the young kids (about 20) were all trotting off at 11 claiming they were exhausted. I'm more than twice that old and just not up to it anymore.

It did. Sleeping this week, sleeping and sewing are all I have on. Bliss.

Will kill others first [squints evilly].

I was doing a paper with UTS students, who are generally completely slack bastards who do not believe in proofreading nor fact checking. I shall not hire them once they graduate! Well, three or four of them I might -- three had talent and one brought around jelly snakes.

This week has been spent dozing. It's lovely!

You SO DESERVE your birthday present.

Mmmmmmmm yellow jelly snakes...

Nice squint, you should patent it!

The yellow natural jelly snakes that are banana flavoured? BEST SWEET EVER! And they were the ones she had, I told her that she should act like that in the workforce so that people would cover her back until she knew what she was doing.

I should wander out and grab some Thai ...

*drools*

I debated Thai, but we had it on Friday, and I refuse to buy something if we still have leftovers from the last time rotting in the fridge.

Cheap pizza was the next best option. I failz at cooking tonight. ;)

ps. last time I grabbed some Thai he bloody called the cops on me. like it wasn't a compliment to his arse or something. >.>

You need to move to Erskineville, arse-grabbing is practically a form of greeting here.

I was thinking of you and my fellow ubertech friends. I do not know how you do it! (and yes, writing or sewing all-nighters hurt less!)

Your lack of sanity made my lack of sanity awfully happy that day, but my typing ability was out the window. Drank hot milk, went to bed, got up and did it all again.

That doesn't sound terribly legal. In any country.

It's the downside of freelancing; every now and then you find yourself in over your head. Apparently I can actually lay out an entire short newspaper as well as edit it; I had no idea I possessed this skill until I did it. Happily, having ticked that box off, I need never do it again!
