Yet another morning without a clear idea of what to write. It’s not that I don’t want to write, more like there is too much percolating in my mind for anything clear to filter through. It doesn’t help that I’m feeling tired this morning. Got home from work at 7:30pm last night after attending a forum presented by the Academic and Research Libraries Group, which involved library leaders in this state talking about their visions for the future. It was very interesting – I took lots of notes – now all I need is some time to sit, reread the notes, and ponder what was said.
My hours today will probably be the same, as I have to attend a postgraduate orientation session this evening, and somehow impress the new students that the library does have the tools they need for their studies, in 5 minutes.
Oh, and after weeks of breathing in the germy air at work (all those coughing, snuffly colleagues!), I think I might be coming down with something too now. Coughing a bit this morning. I was thinking of taking Friday off, as I have accrued way too many hours’ flexi time, but I don’t want to take flexi time if I am going to be sick! Flexi time is for doing fun things. Like lying in bed until midday, reading trashy novels. Going for a walk in the city eating something greasy for lunch and watching workers rush through their lunch breaks. Not coughing and having to lie down because you ache all over and feel like death warmed up…
I think I should stop now because I am making myself gloomier with each sentence I write…

Do you think that sticking to a “write at least once daily” schedule may be too taxing? Sometimes I’d just feel a surge of creative thoughts, and other times I’d start writing on something that I thought was interesting but after writing it, I would go, “not even I would find this interesting.” Hahah. 🙂
I don’t remember, did I say I was going to write at least once daily?
Problem with my life is that most of it is pretty mundane, and writing about the rest of it could lose me my job. Maybe I need to get out more 😛
