slight delay on the site  
I really was hoping to have the site ready for launch today and to be truthful it kinda is, but whilst I was in the middle of coding  the content for it (now that the design work is done) I remembered that I had this stupid presentaton to do so I had to start writing that.

It's not done, the site's not done, I rushed out of the house with my hair soaking wet and now it looks like I've been dragged through a hedge backwards, traffic was a nightmare and what I really didn't want to hear when I got in was how smooth everyone else's journey was. "Oh it was an absolut dream getting in this morning, just sets you up nicely for the day"  yeah? Well I've been in my car for two full hours trying to get 35 miles up the road. Mt journey was not fun today and I'm so not ready for this presentation.

I'd planned on coming in, scripting it out, getting some practice done on it while the office was empty. Nope, no luck on that score. Somehow or other I have to script it, rehearse it, find examples and not fall asleep in the next three hours.

All with a headache.

edit to add and I've just opened my emails to find one from a library user who I tried to help last week saying I hadn't answered her question. I did, she then claimed it wasn't what she'd asked and then said she couldn't find the journal where I told her it was. It's there, I've had two other people look for it and all find it. I didn't reply last week because how do I politely tell a professor she's an idiot? Today I'm physically fighting the urge to email her back and tell her exactly what she can do with her query.

second edit I'm really sorry [livejournal.com profile] emeraldswan I haven't had a chance to look at the fic you sent me, I know I promised I'd have it back to you beore the weekend was out - forgive me? And [livejournal.com profile] claudia6913 it might be a while before I get a chance to update [livejournal.com profile] __touched__ my muse has kinda deserted me there.

We would have understood not getting the scene done last night you know. You obviously had other things you needed to get done, so none of us would have minded.

Ach no, doing the scene was fun (I've posted Xander by the way), I was so strung up about this thing yesterday that I seriously doubt I'd have gotten anything worthwhile done on the presentation anyway.

Well I hope everything goes okay for you this afternoon. Try not to worry about it too much.

And I doubt Oz will have much more to do within the scene, he's said what he needed to say.

my headache is just getting worse and worse as the day goes on. And I've got some stupid bint talking about Smallville at the top of her voice.

And when did I become the only supervisor in the department?

Sorry - just looked round there and saw I'm the only one about grade 2 in here right now and have been for 20 minutes.

Wasn't it agreed a while ago that there needed t be one supervisor from each of the three departments in the office at all times. Good to see that that's working.

Yup. Funny that wasn't it?

Coffee on top of this headache really wasn't a good plan....

*hugs* Just get through today, and try and get a good nights sleep. Hopefully you'll feel better tomorrow.
