>They're not always that easy to interpret. Luckily I generally only get them if I'm running a temperature of seriously worried/upset about something.
There you go, you just interpreted them!
Re - cant sleep when thinking about sleeping.
The problem is half of the answer. I can take ages to get to sleep sometimes but if I sit down to watch F1 I can be asleep within the first few laps! I've been told that sound of some kind can help, white noise, de-tuned radio playing quietly in your room as you lay in bed, something which you wont try to decipher but will distract you from "why cant I sleep?"

oatmaster: in an office? won't you get some very strange looks?
I suppose it depends where you work
Good luck anyway

Too many managers. They'd keep waking me up with their mindless newspeak.

Odo Posted Oct 24, 2002
Well I'd find it quite scary to have managers appearing and talking at me at random points during the day. I'm usually left alone over here, especially during the holidays.

My boss has been avoiding me since I asked for reduced hours.
I think he is in denial.

My boss usually lets me do what I want as long as the work gets done. The only time I need to look busy is when the Big Boss is here!

Similar here Vickie, only there's not always that much to do. I was asked during my interview what I'd do over the summer and my comments about curling up with a book were greeted with laughter. I didn't know the guide existed at that point

I didn't know what h2g2 was until a few weeks ago. I think the BBC should advertise what it is better.
The police in America have arrested two people for the sniper attacks.
About time!!

Lets hope they've got the right ones.
I only stumbled into the guide by accident, I don't think I've ever seen it promoted anywhere.

Weren't the last two arrests just some random people in a white van who turned out to be illegal immigrants?

Vicki Virago - Proud Mother Posted Oct 24, 2002
I stumbled across it to. I was searching for something through the BBC and it came up with h2g2 a few times. Had a look at it but didn't know what it was.
It was only a little while later when I had time, I looked at it properly.

Can't remember how I stumbled on it.
The infinite improbability drive killed many a late shift in work though.
