At the moment at work, I feel like I’m juggling about 9 balls all at once. Periodically one of them hits me on the head, distracts me and I drop all the others, and I have to start all over again. It’s frustrating, especially since I can’t actually juggle.

Juggling is one of those things that I feel I ought to be able to do. I mean, it’s just keeping lots of balls in the air, right? It’s well structured and mathematical, and I don’t see why it should be so hard; also, there’s a good correlation between reading Terry Pratchett novels and being able juggle (no, really) and in my youth I was a devoted follower of the aforementioned beardy fantasy writer. So, why can’t I? I can get about six or seven throws in and then inevitably I’ll miss one and spazz it all up. It’s not fair.

Anyway, this is all by way of saying that there’s a cool Java applet here with a bunch of tutorials on juggling, so maybe I’ll give it another go at some point.

It’s our work Christmas party tonight. We’ve got a deadline tomorrow. What stupendous piece of scheduling management managed to arrange that one, eh?
