I've gotten desperate, and thus I'm trying a session in a sensory deprivation tank today. Certainly can't make the tension worse, at any rate. I'm really looking forward to it, if only for the solid hour of silence.

My relief is playing music with other people. All life's troubles disappear for the duration of the rehearsal/session ... bliss ....
But do tell us about your experience (or lack of it!)

It was pretty awesome. There were a couple times I felt my body start to loosen cognitively--the kind of "where does my skin stop and the water start" dissociation that's ideally supposed to happen--but then I'd notice the change and sort of snap-to again. But it was intensely physically relaxing, and my lingering neck/back soreness from the wreck is much improved, at least temporarily. (For those worrying, I've already seen my chiropractor, and there's no lasting damage, just the equivalent of a sharp muscle pull.) They say I'd get better at the brain-relaxing with another float or two. Overall, not life-changing, but highly recommended.

I've wanted to do that, like, forever. Literally since I saw Altered States the first time.

Today was my last day in my current team - I have tomorrow booked as a holiday, and Monday I start my 4 week training for the specialist team.

This makes me both happy and a little sad. Probably should have gone in the bitter sweet thread - but hey ho :P

What is making me happy is the wonderful card and giant bunch of flowers my team gave me at our comms meeting today. I was really touched. Nikki said not to read the card til later - she meant not til I'd gone home, but I read it a little later in the afternoon - awwww, the messages were so lovely. I could honestly have just sat and sobbed.

An awesome group of people, and an awesome team leader. Am going to miss working side by side with them - though as I am not moving very far away I will still see them in passing, and we can hook up for lunches or after work drinks as and when our shifts converge.

For the last couple of weeks my 1992 VW Passat has been less than cooperative when I need to select second gear.
All manner of 'discouraging words' have been heard on such occasions.
I asked a mate, who is a mechanic and does all my repairs and servicing, to have a look.
He needed to go and collect a car for his next job so drove mine there to get an idea of the problem.
On return he removed the moulding around the gear lever and spotted a circlip which had removed itself from a spindle resulting in excessive lateral play.
A quick reinstatement of the clip and all is well!

Nothing nastier than excessive lateral play! Lovely quick and cheap fix, though!
