Today for most of the day my Internet connection was somewhat ...

... intermittent.

This evening, the modem refused to WORX for an hour.

Cue much shock and apprehension.

It's now fine again.

Stupid little modem!

In other news, I've picked up my fifth concurrent job today.

To recap: I'm working
- three days a week for Newcastle Uni (current contract ends 30/06, follow-up, which is less well paid, ends 30/09)
- one day a week for Queen Margaret University College (until 31/8)
- 30 hours (total left) on preparing a grant application
- 88 hours (total left) on an analysis of read speech in Parkinson's Disease

and now ...
... the equivalent of three months' full time at an hourly rate.

On Wednesday, I'll have a phone conversation about working in technical sales for an old university colleague of mine - again, part time.

And today, I picked up information about setting up my own business.

ARGH.

Now back to Anatomy and Physiology.


.... and just as I wanted to post this entry, the connectio had packed in again.

FANTASTIC.

I'll call Tiscali tomorrow.

am holding USB connection in place with one hand.

Did you leave any time for eating and sleeping in there? ;-)

Bad connections are so frustrating, especially when you're busy. Hang in there!

I think the word 'overworked; might have been expressly invented to describe you just at the moment...best of luck with it all! And I hope the modem starts behaving itself again soon.

it's funny, i started yoga and tai chi about 4 weeks ago now and i'm finding that there is actually time in the day for what i want to get done and the time continue continues to expand as i slow down, i'm actually very pleased and feel like i can add a little more (stretching my elastic sloooowly). i sincerely hope this schedule you've outlined supports and empowers you to greater depths of your talent.
