gillpolackI have demolished my VHS tapes and my PhD has an abstract. I have thrown out 20 children's paper flags (leftover teaching equipment - other people seem to be teaching Jewish culture in Canberra these days) and another shelf is now filled with books and only books. I have two-and-a-bit books to read, and that will take care of my articles through til the end of September (for the non-Medieval non-specfic review books arrived in the nick of time and my column can now be well-balanced) and during that time I need to kick start a really fabulous interview that died halfway through due to email problems in various places. That and a spec fic piece will get me past Jewish New Year and into the dying days of my doctorate.
Confusion over back pay is being sorted and I will be able to sort out a new computer towards the end of August (which is wonderful, for this one is causing me more and more hassles). And I only have urgent message today, which will take fully ten minutes to handle and can happen after lunch. Then I can settle down, finish printing my class handouts for Thursday (for Thursday is photocopy day) and read those review books until dinner, for this evening is dedicated to TV and bibliography.
And by spelling all that out, I'm committed to finishing things today. This is good, for I'd rather take off and go to the art gallery. Except that it's cold outside. And it's all happy-making work. Except the bibliography, but that has Time Team and later, SF, to make it palatable.
