Stress, Queer Geeks and SV rec

Some people lose their appetite when stressed. Others eat. I don't eat so much as just *inhale* food.

So far today, I've eaten two potatoe cakes, a Hungry Jack's Bacon Deluxe (Bacon whopper? The one with double meat, bacon, and cheese, where you can just hear your arteries clogging with each mouthful.), two tubs of yogurt, two glasses of juice, a breakfast bar, a snack bar and a banana. I'm at the stage of considering going downstairs to buy food, even though I'm *not* hungry, just for the sake of it.

It's more than slightly disgusting.

I think it's just a combination of four hours sleep, the Admin coursework due (although hopefully I can get a last minute extension on that), uni exams in four weeks time, and by-product of mum's emotional stress from the divorce. I'm tired, and uptight, and I have uni tonight, and I have to be in at 8am tomorrow morning for a client meeting and...

AAAAAAAARRRGH!

Okay, that feels better.

Oh, I'm so jealous of this. Queer Geeks. Dude, that sounds like so many levels of cool, even though I'm only a partial geek at best. (ie. enjoy sci-fi/fanstasy, love computers, but couldn't fix one if my life depended on it.)

For a quick pick-me-up, I recommend [livejournal.com profile] celli's Social Worker to the World. It's the cutest SV fic that I've read in a while. Both the boys being adorable.

No. I'm actually clinging to the hope that my boss, who has passive-aggressive tendencies, will actually weasel his way out of confronting me on it. Because yes, it should have been done, but my mistake was actually telling him I would get it done this weekend. I deserved the time off.

(Not that I haven't flaked around at work, but overall, I've done good stuff for him. Specially these last two weeks. So.)


So, with any luck, you'll be stressing about it tonight, but will actually be able to get out of it tomorrow. *crosses fingers for you*

Yes, exactly. :) I don't want to sleep, because sleeping means I'll wake up to all that crap sooner. But less sleep means I handle it less well. It sucks!

It's a vicious circle. *resists the urge to quote SN*

Um...how about Dan and Casey talking in bed? Other activities optional. :) To make me feel better about dragging myself off to *my* bed.

*puts on thinking cap*
