I was up till one working last night, and then there was a power cut so I went to bed. And again back on the job this morning. This has really been a sustained period of working and I am starting to feel a dash of burnout. No end in sight, though I might be able to take a day or so off weekend after next, the first in a while. The overwork resulted, at dinner, in what felt like a full blown panic attack, complete with a hot flush that made me feel as though I was burning up but certainly perishing. Or maybe it is just the menopause approaching?
I was cheered, though, by the Orlando Bloom social media storm from his ‘day in the life’ article in the Times:
I have a deal with Amazon where I work on projects exclusively for them. I spend a lot of my time dreaming about roles for myself and others — for minorities and women. I’m trying to be a voice for everybody.
Rarely does the Times do a good thing, but this was one.
