If it helps I can send you some links to Alan Watts' lectures on youtube. He'll be able to tell you how you are basically the whole of the universe; the spaces inbetween the molecules that you consist of, as well as the molecules themselves.
If that doesn't help, I can send you a flapjack. Beyond that, I'm out of ideas.
No apology needed. You've maintained true to your mission of proper, immediate daily blogging, would be inauthentic not to live blog this latest development.
I'm pushing paper and emails between desks today, if that offers you any solace.

Thank you man! You're a mensch. No, I am crying Evian tears here, no one is going to starve to death at the end of this story.
I've been reading my key religious texts every morning recently, one phrase that struck me was "die without perishing". I guess what I didn't expect was that this might mean carrying on what I was doing before, what I've been bitching about for as long as I've been doing it - I thought there would be some obvious mark of "yeah, I work in a warehouse now, say something". But yeah, it's even harder - you have to carry on and commit yourself to the Germanic closing-of-doors - lie in the bed you've made - that is the self-negation I've been seeking, I guess, dying without perishing.
chin up, cocker. This too shall pass.

Thanks man, link away. Sorry that was a bit like one of those attention seeking Facebook updates! Might give the daily updates a rest for a bit.
