Tuesday check-in

[forthwritten]

How do Tuesdays work for people?

Anyway - what have you done recently that you're pleased with? What new problem are you bashing your head against? What are your aims for the week ahead? Did you do anything fun over the weekend, or were you, like me, in chapter lockdown mode in preparation for meeting your supervisor? I note that my rats were rather annoyed at being neglected in favour of my thesis and promptly ate part of Illness As Metaphor because I foolishly left it on top of their cage.

I've been very productive on the research side for the past two days, but today was so awful in the archives that three researchers (including myself) complained about the noise levels and two (including myself) left. I was about ready to punch people I was so tense. I'm glad my adviser isn't expecting to hear from me till next week.

It's kinda sad, because I was thisclose to being done with the Annual Reports and moving on to something more interesting for tomorrow. Ah well.

I just cannot work when the noise levels get too high. I'm thinking of investing in a set of noise-cancelling headphones because on top of not being able to work I end up incredibly tense and irritable.
