Not as many breaks as I hoped to have today, unfortunately. Still never mind. Bored with the hegemony of authors having their say? Shred it.

Occasionally I think you should look around at the people you work with and thank god that they are tense and irritable instead of me. Of course you only have time to do that when you are not tense and irritable yourself. In the meantime, these stressed people should be a source of endless entertainment.

Update on love-life. After several days of distance from my twenty-year-old (and an interesting sexual interlude with a young American) I feel genuinely more comfortable and settled with things. Young chap wants to be friends, which generated the wonderful comment from my tactless friend: "What the hell would you do with a twenty-year-old FRIEND!?". I, of course, only grudgingly saw the funny side.

So in the meantime I have decided just to flirt with my favourite barperson and leave it at that. Pretty sure he's not interested, but like all decent barpeople, he knows exactly how to maintain a decent level of intrigue without actually putting out.

According to evhead, "One in three men lie about the size of their e-mail inboxes by over-estimating the number of e-mails they receive - proving that size matters as much online as anywhere else."

Fed up of being at work now. I'm going home...
