Back at work this morning since Festivus Day. That was my full first week off since March, and boy did I need that. But having been away for a little while, I was more aware of the place settling back round me. And not in an altogether good way. Some old annoyances tried to trigger, but I ignored them.

I think if I'd been away for more than a week, I'd have forgotten what it is I do. Fortunately I'm not a surgeon, so my settling back in period doesn't come with a body count.

That's also what my old team used to joke about. "At least if we get it wrong, nobody will die or be horribly maimed"

It's important to take a step back for a breath, to help prevent something going wrong. For example, the umpteen things that have just landed with me, are being offset with me boiling the kettle and typing this.

Tea is great for getting oneself centered, and firing one up to tackle on all the annoying extra work one is given!

I had a Haze in one of my old RPG games. Catching up on Harbi's cool stuff is on my LW to do list.

I don't care what anyone says, Little Wing is Jimi Hendrix's best song. Hmmm...if it's strictly songs that he wrote himself, then I'd agree. But his cover of Bob Dylan's All Along the Watchtower is my personal favorite Jimi Hendrix recording.
