Nightmares of tagging

I’ve been dreaming about tagging for the past few nights. Twice in the past week I’ve been awakened by Dean shaking me in the middle of the night because I was screaming. The tagging I’m talking about is not this kind of tagging:

Or this kind of tagging (which looks like fun):

Or even this kind of tagging (although these nightmares will be coming soon):

The kind of tagging that is giving me nightmares is the tagging I do anywhere between 4 and 12 hours a day, 7 days a week:

PDF tags

PDF tags

In the dream I’m in an endless loop of tag, tag, tag, tag, save. Tag, tag, tag, save. Tag, tag, tag, save and then something jumps out of the tags which scares me and I scream. It may be partly because I’ve been watching Dead Like Me while I tag. Maybe I’m waiting for the grim reaper to take me away from all this tagging.

I think I need a new profession. Any recommendations?

Feast or famine

I either have little work or too much work, rarely do I have just enough work. Today and for the next few weeks it looks like feast. While this is a good thing for our pocketbook, it means I’m stuck working on PDF files when I could be (in order of preference):

  • reading and commenting on your blogs
  • reading updates on facebook
  • watering plants in my fairyland on facebook in order to spot things like golden dragons or hedgehogs
  • tweeting what I’m eating for lunch
  • doing laundry
  • cleaning the house
