What am I doing?

I'm not sure what I am trying to do today. I didn't plan things very well. I wanted to work on my dissertation today (see below post). But the materials I need to do that properly are at home. I am at the office. I am at the office to keep my eye on the moving in of my office mate, to ensure that she doesn't, say, throw away all of my most important files (not that she would or anything, but I am paranoid). But that is happening in dribs and drabs all day (the first load of her stuff just arrived).

I am also here to monitor developments of contact with ET. Which, of course, there are none (to date). And to worry about scheduling my dissertation seminar (waiting on an email on that one as well). And perhaps to talk with the dean about ET. Which I haven't done yet (sort of waiting to hear if there is word from JH first).

And then there is the issue of job in London. I need to talk with RL about the project he is (hopefully) hiring me for. I'm not sure it is a good fit. But I'm not looking forward to the conversation, and not sure how to approach it. But I have received no word from him today and it is late enough that it is unlikely I will. But I need to decide whether I want to initiate contact, probably by email, which has the advantage of letting me write my thoughts rather than blurt them out. But then the question is how much to say...

Yerggh.
