LJ feels like a sinking ship, so, being the rat that I am, I suppose I should leave. (German proverb/saying: "The rats are leaving the sinking ship.")
Also, here's a question:
The last four months have been a resounding confirmation that I *can't* handle working life *and* a social life *and* the rest of my private life in parallel. I've been pretty much completely unable to communicate with anyone not directly work-related, and I've neglected everything else, too (including important things like completing all kinds of really urgent, important paperwork about my move, etc., as well as fun things like writing, knytting, or planning my holidays.)
Since this is unacceptable and even dangerous (I've ignored some incredibly important snail mail, among other things), it needs to change. So, the question is: Is there a method to increase your ability to handle several important things at once? I mean, short of taking some kind of drug?
