Oh god, I'm in the special bad place called 'my boss is panicking so lets hold 200 meetings this week because, oh fuck, it's nearly 2004 and, and, aargh! deadlines'.

See me put work calmly from my mind. *puts* I've done all my Christmas cards and spent far too long last night printing out a little story to go in the fannish ones- trying to size and print both sides of non-standard paper is a right laugh when you're using Word, I can tell you. Ha ha!

I must go and see Master and Commander again- I think I'm obsessed. I rushed out and bought Post Captain on Monday and it's become essential train reading.

The yuletide fic is sort of halfway done but with lots of loose bits round the edges ie, I've got to re-write half of it before it makes any sense. I keep looking at the calendar, than back at the screen, then at the calendar. There's so much to fit in. I'm staying with the parental units for half of next week, so I'll be catching up with the brothers and frantically doing all my Christmas shopping after work so I have things to give them. I only ever curse my nephews and nieces (6 of the buggers now!) at Christmas. This year they're getting books or lego depending on my mood at the time. This weekend is for the yuletide fic. Next weekend is for the Christmas party, then it's upon us. Someone, give me hug!
