Boring boring day. Had the morning off to go do stuff, I should have taken the whole day. The afternoon has been beautifully sunny and I have been about as productive as the proverbial old sock. Also I have been peeing excessively again. I don't know why. Could be boredom, could be because this portacabin is cold. I don't know. I do know that it is embarrassing and I think that the people in the labs are starting to count how often they see me wander past. I've taken to carrying a notebook and looking serious in order to throw them off the scent. Perhaps it hasn't; perhaps they think I'm in there taking notes... I don't know how the hell people manage to drink two litres of water a day; I'm already like a damnblasted racehorse, I'd explode if I tried that. Or possibly find employment as a water feature.

Lifting Things Properly was dull. I was the only female. The trainer kept using the male pronoun then winking at me in a rakish fashion. I didn't care. Lifting heavy things is what men are for.
