Ritual early hours posting about overwork

It is, of course, my own fault, mainly for not saying 'No' to a former TGW colleague who now runs a teaching programme for junior year abroad students from the States. It's also part of the problem that DSoc has barely any members to carry on the torch into the Bright New Age of Doctor Who being a mainstream hit once more, and the decision to cast off the cloak of nostalgia and try to be a more social society; and that when I want to do something I want to do it as well as I can within reason. So, although I have read probably less than 1% of the reading list (and in confessing this he shatters all the illusions the Oxford undergraduates reading this might have about their tutors) after getting in from work (after 8pm, having been shopping for computer paper) I wrote some notes for my students introducing them to the list of set texts for the paper and the bibliography, and with some recommendations for reading for the first essay, which I adapted for them from a question from an old exam paper.

I then went on to print out lots of copies of the flyer I've designed for DSoc this year, which emphasises the new series, with Eccleston on one side and David Tennant on the other; I also expended a lot of time watching the printer chug out colour pictures from the new series to go on the stall. I also had an idea for a dummy cover for the magazine, which took ages to get right for no good reason other than my not being able to tell where the edge of the printed page was once I'd expanded a photograph to fill it.

In other news, although I've nearly finished another contract for TOGW, my editor there tells me that I might have to wait a little while for another one as the money isn't allocated yet. It looks like I work too quickly for their budget, perhaps...
