User: thecoastman - 25 July 2008 23:28

Whatever happened to Sylvester?

User: chrisrolinski - 25 July 2008 01:09

writing about john locke at 01:07 is a little surreal. Hope it makes sense in the morning.

good luck ya'll

User: Walminskipeasucker - 25 July 2008 00:47

Good morning, misspacey. Hope you have a productive all-nighter - there'll be fewer distractions anyway. Like me, just keep telling yourself: it'll all be worth-it in the end.

User: missspacey - 25 July 2008 00:11

I'll be joining you - I'm in for an all-nighter.

Sorry to hear about your goldfish too Jayney!

User: chrisrolinski - 24 July 2008 14:56

I am horribly disorganised. And waste so much time. I deserve everything my stupid work strategy throws at me!

At least I am currently typing the in the daylight looking at my plants on the windowsill, that is quite restful. But at night, I feel the pressure, and actually work!

User: Jayney - 24 July 2008 12:02

Hey chrisrolinski - my goldfish of six years died lst month. I was actually quite sad and missed his little dancing mug about my kitchen. Rubbish news about your bike too.. The chapter will work out though - I was in the doldrums with my second chapter last week and yesterday it worked itself out, ta-da! Such is the nature of this work...


Do you guys really work all night?! I need sunlight to work personally. And working into the night reminds me of the days at uni #1, being a slack undergrad and pulling 'allnighters' with pro plus (to get in a 2000 word essay where reading list was seven books long and the answer was probably in the title...). so working at night actually makes me feel naughty and unorganised.

User: Walminskipeasucker - 24 July 2008 11:55

Sorry to hear that your bike was stolen and your goldfish died - grim I'm in a similar situation to you with my work - chasing my proverbial tail. Well, I'll be working late too for the foreseeable future - so you're not alone

User: chrisrolinski - 24 July 2008 11:46

I'm going to be up all night for the forseeable future. I've had a stressful month with my bike being stolen, and golfish dying, and not knowing where to go with my chapter. So chapter due in a week, and a lot to do.

User: littlemissworry - 23 July 2008 16:02

I have to say I am the complete opposite! I find it really hard to work in the evening and even when it gets to 4pmish I find my brain turns to mush and I just can't do anything productive at all (like now)! I'm quite worried about when it comes to write up and I need to put the hrs in in the evening too cos I just can't seem to accomplish anything.
