Thanks Chris, but you can't have my name, I am THE pro in that department unfortunately :=p

And Lara, thanks & good luck too, I know all about snail's pace! but we'll get there.

I have a Dr Pepper in reserve, really can't face any more tea for a while.

Well, after another disappointing day (only half a day's work today), I'm shortly about to give up for he night.

I'm now a full day behind for this week. If I'm to make up this time, do i sacrifice one day over the weekend (not good for getting rest and may leave me jaded next week) or do I do 2 x 1.5 days? Hmmm. Just had a self heart-to-heart in my diary about why my procrastination habit is getting well-entrenched and what I can seriously do about it to establish a structured, effective work regime. I know what I must do, I just don't want to have to do it! :-s

Anybody else toiling away on a Saturday night, soon to be Sunday morning? ("sniff") Actually self-pity is not called for - I had loads of sleep last night...

me too! i have to write my entire introduction chapter for my thesis. eeeeeeeeeeeeeek
my deadline is 6am sunday!

Oh good, hope it goes well Lara, you seem to be on a roll anyway! I'm supposed to be finishing a paper, but can't seem to stop looking up unnecessary stuff on silly databases. And then have a chapter overdue.

Are you writing too, 404?

L

Does being in your Department on a Sunday also count as the graveyard shift?

In that case, I'm included as well (I was here yesterday too). That said, I'm taking tomorrow off to go cycling in the hills. Would have gone today but the roads will be full of sightseers. I just hope the weather holds!
