God I am so bored with work right now. I hate it when I feel that way. Just feel completely unmotivated and a bit left behind career-wise.*

I dunno. Maybe I should do something drastic like pack it all in and fly off to some deserted wilderness to write my books.** Maybe I should give up trying to be the best at what I do and just do the job dull-ly.

Or maybe I should just get pissed, pull myself together and realise that this is probably the "wrong time of the month".

Cat therapy needed.

*No wonder. I only started a proper career - by accident - after 9 years of academia when I was 27 - that was 5 years ago.
