i just spent about two hours of taxpayer’s money painstakingly tweaking the xml files for this blog. i don’t know xml. i really ought to learn, because trial and error is really only fun for a little while. and really, the results are patchy at best - i managed to move some stuff around and add in the odd page, but it’s not like i’ve revolutionised the design!
last night bean and i decided that the word to describe the way we are feeling at the moment is ‘malaise’. the biggest surprise for me is how much it is affecting my relationship to my job. i love my job - i get paid a very reasonable amount of money to think about interesting things and talk to interesting people. but the last few weeks i am feeling a distinct lack of, well, i hate to use the word motivation but there it is, i am lacking motivation. it’s not like i have nothing to do - it’s just that i can’t be arsed doing it. i’m not even going to tell you what i do instead - i don’t want to upset the hard-working tax payers among you (including bean). (hint: see previous paragraph.)
i am just waiting for it all to come crashing down. with any luck, there will be other things to distract me if and when it does. more likely, i will accomplish a lot of work in a short time and no one will be any the wiser (except for you, dear reader).
