The soul has greater need of the ideal than the real for it is by the real that we exist, it is by the ideal that we live

I should have kept going

I've made a huge mistake! A colossal error in judgement. A big boo-boo!

I went back to work.

After two weeks of being away I find that people(and we know how much I love THEM) have gotten into things they should have stayed out of, not gotten into things they should have, and generally spent the holiday season making a huge mess I get to straighten out. I'd be such a better manager if it wasn't for all those...people.

On top of which indignity, I have managed to wait until the last minute to write the syllabi for my classes and now I'm feeling a bit of pressure. A bit,actually,is an understatement. I'm trying not to wet myself.

At least I read the books that's some help. Now I get to decide what they need to know. And I have a week to get it done. The Dean wants to see it before the 10th. So I'll be starting the New Year off just as I suspected. Running around as though my undies were up my ass and my hair was on fire.

It's such fun coming back from two weeks off and after 90 minutes it's like I never left. At least I get to scream and rant in peace,no one else has come back yet. I think I have today and tomorrow to vent while I sort things out and formulate a plan.

I wish I could incorporate Gin into that plan but it just doesn't seem prudent.

Wish me luck.
