Side effects of too much marking

For the past half-hour, a noise has been driving me crazy. Is it the furnace? Is someone outside of my window, whistling? Is the gate open and creaking? I absolutely could not identify the noise.

Until I realised that it was birds. Chirping. Right. They do that. I'd forgotten about birds.

Note to self: get myself outside, once this batch of marking is done.

Darn birds. Don't they know you're trying to mark here?!? I feel your pain: I just finished marking 40 essays; I'm on a brief hiatus before marking 40 exams. It never ends. Those birds had better stay away from my window!
