Winter Parliament: T-2 Days & Counting...
Nov. 9th, 2005 11:36 am...and I'm left with a problem.
I've finished the practical work for today. All of it. It's not even midday.
This is the problem with staying until gone seven two days running. I've got through a shedload and today I have nothing to work up. I currently have four reactions stirring: One comes off tomorrow, another whenever the silane is used up, another after I've added some more stuff to it and cooked it for another day or so, the other comes off later today and is replaced by the one that needs to be cooked and is currently stirring on a heatless plate. None of them are ready to work up - which means that in order to use up the day, I have to busy myself with clerical work and not fall entirely asleep in doing so.
Things that may keep me awake:
Literature search: This involves going to the library i.e. movement. I can almost guarantee this happening today, even though I doubt it will be terribly productive.
Meeting with the Sweet Charity production team: This might have the side effect of driving me insane or causing me to lash out at someone, but it certainly won't make me fall asleep.
Conversation on the BLADES OOC Chat board on subjects of a surreal nature: This has been going on since yesterday and is providing many moments of comedy - however, it isn't exactly work.
Things that are chemistry related are not exactly presenting themselves. My folder is fairly tidy, so I have nothing to do there. There is the new heat gun order to prepare and get everyone to sign risk assessment forms for, but they only move as fast as the people writing them. I can see a half past four departure today, for no other reason than everything is setting itself up to involve my working until about seven again tomorrow night before knocking it all on the head and preparing for Kibblestone.
Yesterday night I made myself game pie with a red wine sauce. Every time I use cook-in sauce, I am reminded how much it ends up tasting like stew, no matter how good the ingredients are, but with the exception of that it remained a delicious, huge meal, and I'll be trying it again without the stew-inducing sauce in due course.
My coffee roaster was not picked up yesterday, even though I received a phone call from the company around ten-to-one confirming the address to do so from. This causes me anger, because I have to try to sort it out before I leave for the weekend, but I don't want to have to talk to a slightly obstructive and innocent sounding MD of the company who's response to my lines of complaint is stunned (and possibly tearful) silence.
I can see myself doing very little playing this weekend - there will be a great deal of roleplay associated with the monstering, and I'm in the best of both worlds. I paid to play, so I can go in as Rhinyn whenever I feel like it, but when I'm not doing that, I'm playing a monster role with so much roleplay coursing round it that I tend to bend light when I move. Win-win situation, as long as I don't screw up the role.
Roll on Friday - I need to get IC, and I need to do so soon...
