Some things even Google can't answer (153/365)

Just so you know, if you ever try googling "I have had 8 meetings today and my brain no longer works" you will get a mixture of (a) pages about the medical causes of brain fog, concussion, ageing etc and (b) articles about burnout and how to beat it by doing radical things like eating vegetables! and exercising! and so on. What you will not get is any actual advice on what to do if you have had 8 meetings and your brain no longer works.

Anyway. I have had 8 meetings today and my brain no longer works, so I am not going to be able to come up with an interesting post of any kind.

(Tomorrow I also have 8 meetings, or possibly 11 depending on whether you count three interviews and a pre-meeting as four meetings or just one.)

11 meetings. Interviews definitely count in full.

Ah yes, eating veg and exercising. I do like that line in Vorkosiverse where Cordelia finally gets the doctor who prescribes rest. Do contemplate it if you can - if the Feputy HoD can have a week because he needs it, you should be facilitated too. Alas, I know this is totally impossible to get across to people because the culture will always be we're doing great, stagger on :(

I took a 4-day weekend, but I'm not sure rest is what I need so much as to stop having so many meetings!
