Working working working

Hunting in my (work) desk drawer for some post-it notes just now, I came across this gem. It's definitely my handwriting, but I've no idea when I wrote it or what about. It was at the back of the drawer, so it could be months, or it could be days.

In other news, through a complicated combination of annual leave, study leave, unpaid leave, bank holidays, concessionary days, and my regular student days, I have wangled two solid weeks off work in which to actually write the damned dissertation. I've spent the weeks since Christmas doing a lot of background work, a lot of preparation, reading, note making and so on, but the time is coming* where I should just get on with actually writing the thing, and I'm having great trouble doing so. In theory, not having to go to work at the same time will facillitate this.
