Sleepless in Strathcona

Sleepless!

Ugh.

Work.

It’s 3:37am and I just finished my work, which wouldn’t be so bad except that I started at 9am yesterday.

At least with all the salt mining I may be able to buy a faster computer!

    I had something similar in the “real” world yesterday – a 19 hour day – 5 am to midnight – which included doing up an order (of around $65,000) for a truckload of groceries for the store. Boy, did I sleep last night!

    Well, I hope you ordered yourself some decent treats! If nothing else, Ovaltine; it’s the anti-caffeine!

    At the very least, get a keyboard whose letters aren’t all worn off. ;-)

    Only my guests ever complain about that, though. I haven’t looked directly at my keyboard since 1998, except for that time I spilled the mocha into it. FYI that’s a bad idea. Not the looking part, the mocha part.

    Aaaaaand since my computer has been crashing on and off since I got home around 9pm this means I’m still only 1/4 done my work for the night. No post for raincoaster.com, alas! If only I could post to WordPress as easily as I can to Facebook! I’ve tossed ten things up there today, since it’s one click.

    I once spilled a glass of rosé all over my keyboard, which I thought was a disaster until I found out that keyboards only cost about 10€.

    This one cost a bloody fortune! I wish I could find a cheap one, but all the ones I see are about a hundred bucks!

    I hear ya, babe.

    With me, I have a window of sleepiness at about 10:30pm. If I don’t hit that window pretty close, I’m usually wade awake until 3:00am.

    I blame Trent and his sexiness.

    Blame Trent. I like it. It would make good t-shirts.

    Now I’m sleepy, but stoned to the gills on cold medicine. My links today will either drift off to nothingness or consist of random letters in pretty combinations. Should be amusing.

    Also: got a new job with real office hours today. But the office hours are like, Tuesday 7-10pm and Saturday 2-4, stuff like that. So at least SOME of the time I will be awake when other people in the hemisphere are.
