18 June 2006

All things must come to an end ... [More:]... and that includes my unlimited MeCha time. No more breakfasts in IRC with the bunnies :-(

Tomorrow I go back to work after six weeks off - I had surgery on 4 May and needed time to recover from both the operation and from the horrible flare-up of psoriasis that was undoubtedly the accumulation of the stress of the last six months manifesting itself.

I'll be glad to get back to the office - I'm bad company when left to my own devices, and these last few weeks I've isolated far more than is good for me. I've been comfort eating and have gained weight, but am hoping that being back in the workday routine will also get me back into better eating habits. I had ice cream for breakfast today, for God's sake!

I'm also the world's worst procrastinator, but will be going back to a new caseload, so I've got the opportunity to start afresh with new - and hopefully good - habits as far as my casework is concerned. I always find that the cases I dread doing are never that bad once I get down to them.

I'm very easily distracted, but have resolved not to overuse the web when I'm in the office. So my MeCha time will be limited to the evenings and the days I work at home.

But at least I've not totally wasted my time these last six weeks ...
It's been 6 weeks already?? A change of scenery is always good. Looking forward to OMG bunnies when you're at home!

Good luck on your way back into the "real" world! I had to cut the ties for a while before I left my last job, too much interesting stuff is posted here (and on MeFi) all the time.

And, in regards to your score, HOLY GUACAMOLE! Nice action!

Ease in gently, Eedge. I will be just the opposite, as I'm in btw gigs right now in the working world, so I'll have more than average time until that sorts out to devour the front page.

Be busy, throw yourself into it.

I can only imagine you'll enjoy it all the more for having it in scarcer amounts.

'course we'll be awfully deprived.

I give you two weeks before you break.

I totally forgot about Bookworm! I need to download that, like, right now.

Good luck getting back into the flow. It's great that you're looking at this time as an opportunity to establish new good habits.

I'm going to miss the daily OMGBUNNIES though. :(
