Anti-Social Against the World

localfreakI'm being even more antisocial than usual at the moment. This is because life is getting a bit crazy. I suddenly seem to have ten-million more things to do in my job than I had a month ago and sadly still no power to stretch time in order to fit them all in.
My course readings, at least, are improving. Simmel was okay but the next lot are all on Black Masculinities which is not only exceedingly interesting considering my previous look on Masculine effeminacy, but also ties in nicely with the Mixed Race/Relationships series of programmes on the BBC this month.
Unfortunately I also signed up a while ago to do some Mentoring coursework too, which at the time was dull but I thought would pass a couple of idle hours. NOW of course the minute I look at it I'm dying to flee back to my other books which are far, far more interesting. So lots of difficulty concentrating at the moment.
The concentration issues aren't being helped by What They've Done to Delicious at all. I don't understand the new system of stacks and don't feel like I have time to sit through tutorials in how to work it. I also feel that, if I'm not using it, I should at least start saving my fandommy bookmarks onto ficlists, like I do with HP, but that, again, requires more time and concentration than I seem to be able to manage at present.
If things don't improve I think there will be Red Bull on my horizon. (Which doesn't actually work on me but at least then I can PRETEND)
