graculusA definite entry in the 'so obvious I saw it coming' stakes: hot on the heels of the external candidates for the post I'm currently covering not being anything like good enough to appoint, now it seems the internal candidate has some kind of crisis at home which means he's asked not to be interviewed at the moment. This is ominous, isn't it? All those who saw this coming, please feel free to laugh as much as I groaned internally at that news... ;)
Work is just crazily busy, but that's what happens when you try and do two jobs at the same time. Still, no major gaffes so far and I've almost finished my third week of the promised four. If nothing else, I've not been bored! Quite the opposite in fact, as I have almost more work than I can cram into the day.
I was already planning to take the bank holiday week off, in order to assist in completing my dissertation and now I think I'm going to take the week after off as well. I'm just too knackered to do much when I get home other than vegetate and sleep, which means the weekends are currently the only times I'm getting anything done on that and I'd hoped to be further along than I am.
In other news, the video of one of my favourite movies is starting to get knackered - I was watching it last night ('it' being The Fisher King, in case anyone was wondering), and it's showing its age. I'm left wondering whether all my other videos will eventually crap out from over-use. I don't really want to replace them unless I absolutely have to, but having already replaced Withnail and I, Curry and Pepper and LA Confidential, in the end I might have no choice... :(
