I am being useless. This is clear. It is a result of unspecified neuralgia and resulting brain fog, and while I'm not in continuous pain any more I do seem to spend an awful lot of time wandering into rooms and forgetting what I went in there for and forgetting that to send cheques you need to sign them and forgetting that plugs need pins otherwise they do not fit and forgetting how to spell "appropriate" and "profession" and "commune" and other multisyllabic words I have been reliably able to spell since small-childhood.

This is... not good. Especially as I am still an unsponsored, umemployed layabout, and the odds of my getting a training contract whilst having difficulty with shoelaces seem slim to minimal. Life is certainly not all bad - last weekend, for example, Katie and Shim and I went to the zoo! And saw elephants! and it was actually the best thing ever! - but could be, you know, better.

Anyway. I mention this only because I have finally got myself registered with a GP, and had my head examined (no, really), and amoxycillin, prescription analgesia and good old-fashioned opiates having succeeded in shifting the pain but not the lack of cognitive function, they have suggested citalopram. I am not sure what I think about this. That said, this is just a placeholder - I may well be even more crap than usual when it comes to, you know, replying to email and doing what I'm supposed to and suchlike, and so I ask for patience. I now return you to your regularly-scheduled programming.

*hugs* Feel better.

And what is a training contract, pray tell? Unless you don't want to talk about it, which I would completely understand. Who wants to talk about career stuff? NOT ME.

It is a thing. It is a thing where a law firm employs you as a trainee, so they educate you and employ you at the same time so you get paid and when you finish it - it's two years - you're fully qualified and go on the Law Society's list of qualified practioners. The thing is, most firms tend to recruit two years in advance. So if I want one for when I finish my course in 2010, I need to apply now. It is, um, soul-destroying.
