That's always been my problem! Listen, stop listening, start listening again, and make my decision to act based on what I think is the most likely thing that was said in the middle. I just can't stay focused for any length of time. And in my defence, I don't usually miss much.
Had a bit of a surprise on the web design module though. I was under the impression that aside from the forums and things like this blog where I specifically choose 'visible', that people couldn't see what I was doing. Turns out they can! So there I was arsing about in the 'design studio' and discovered the tutor could see everything I'd done. Then today I was rummaging around in there again (but not doing anything!) and found everyone else's web pages, which I guess means everyone can see everything, which means no place available for arsing around? It seems a shame, as that is a particularly enjoyable pastime of mine.
When this realisation first hit me yesterday I had that horrible moment of sickness and panic as I tried to recall what exactly I had been doing in there. Going back and checking there was a little bit of euphoria as I discovered nothing offensive or entirely idiotic. What a relief. It does mean that I need to make a very conscious effort not to do any of my designs unless I'm sober, which is unfortunate, given my propensity to do exactly the opposite. It's exhausting being an adult. Or trying to be one. And, if I'm honest, a little boring.
Going out tonight so I'd best leave the laptop under the bed or something.
Only half the information...
