I think I'm going nuts… I just got back from the lab after getting there at 8:45 am. It's starting to make me wish I had a hobby…
This morning at 8:00 am I was awoken by an 80 foot tall Freddo Frog rising majestically against the backdrop of Black Mountain. This and a whole bunch of other hot-air balloon's was pretty cool, I just wish it hadn't been so early in the morning. Having no life and being unable to get back to sleep because of the bright sunlight I went to breakfast and then to work where I proceeded to get my daily dose of muscle tension and stress.
My relationship to my place of work is interesting. I don't know whether it is a place where my thoughts are clearer because I am at peace there or whether it is an effective bastion from the outside world. Whatever it is, I find my clarity of thought somewhat enhanced.
This morning whilst hovering over a balance I realized most of my personality traits can be derived from a fear of confrontation or conflict. I tend to be demure in the presence of an outgoing personality and often find myself agreeing simply to avoid a pointless hurtful argument or not revealing my true thoughts so as not to appear antagonistic. I find myself to be neither a strong or forceful personality such that I do not want to have to defend my personal ideals and views against a barrage of questions. I find it easier when assailed to pretend to give in or ignore the questions altogether.

6:50 pm - Off to dinner…

1:10 am - Had a great night, lots of chats and catching up and more philosophy and memories than you could poke a stick at… quite satisfactory indeed. ;)
Now I'm stuffed and must sleeeeeppppp…. Zzz….
