Alf Tupper Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Just wondering how many people are finding it nigh on impossible to live a 'normal life' this week with the doors being flung open in less than a week now (albeit by a few hours). Work has turned to a mush, can't sell for toffee at the moment as concentration is set firmly on getting organised for next week and deciding how to approach this year with introducing the rest of the family to the festival. This will be the 11th visit and as a mid forties child I would doubt any kid leading up to Christmas is any more excited than i'm feeling yet again this year. Only 4 acts marked down to see this year, the total seems to reduce every year to make more room for randomness that always seem to create the best 'moments'. So is anyone able to just go about their days and general business this week as if nothing out of the ordinary is about to happen next week? If so please give tips on how to do so as next to nothing is being achieved this week, apart from increasing the pile in the dining room ready to be loaded into the car in a few days!

jeffie Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Well my phone app says that it's: 6 days, 18 hours and 35 minutes to the gates opening. Not that I'm bothered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilduck Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) I've done about 10 minutes of work today! The rest has been spent refreshing this forum, and texting my mates about Glasto news. I fear it will only get worse as the week rolls on.

Likearollingstone Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Yeah I think we're all in the same boat. Dreading someone calling me out and saying what have you actually done today/this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koj Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 This week has been horrendous. Managed to knuckle down this morning for a couple of hours then Florence news came out! I'm seriously thinking of taking Monday / Tuesday off just to listen people who are appearing on Spotify and browse eFestivals! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr November Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 I'm doing alright. To be honest I was laid in bed last night wondering whether I could be arsed with it all. How bad is that!? I think it's the thought of packing, travelling, probability of rain, numerous clashes and all the stuff I have to arrange beforehand that's taking the edge off.

Kanye's Cock Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 really nice time of year for me this. I can truly get excited about Glastonbury without snapping out of it and realising it is frustratingly far away. touching distance my friends.

I think it's the thought of packing, travelling, probability of rain, numerous clashes and all the stuff I have to arrange beforehand that's taking the edge off. I have thoughts like that every now and then. Pre Glastonbury jitters I call it. They all go as soon as I leave for the train. From that moment on I am nothing but happy.

norainplease Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Nope, no concentration what so ever - we leave on Friday so tomorrow is my last day at work and I have spent the whole day so far checking on the Friday headliner news and thinking about how much stuff I still have to do before we leave - namely start packing!!!

neff Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Rather annoyingly I haven't got time to get excited yet! Looks like I've a rather packed week with work up until the Tuesday night.... now I need to find time to both sleep and pack! I am making things slightly better by watching some of last years sets while working away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sketchead Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 I've slowly started thinking about it more and more and today is the first time I've been regularly checking this forum throughout the working day, which means Glasto fever is starting to hit. My last day at work is Friday and then I'll be heading home for a relaxing weekend before the packing and chaos begins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesonglessbird Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 My girlfriend told me this morning that she couldn't sleep because she's officially excited.... I was knackered so that's my excuse for falling asleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't get it! 2am is the earliest ive been to bed this week so far, trawling vlogs, random bands appearing on smaller stages, its an obsession that seems to intensify every year, heeeeeeeelp!

OBface Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 So so bad. Have a mammoth amount of work to get through but find myself continuously flicking between here, clashfinder and my packing list (which to be fair are all more exciting than the bid I'm writing).
