More waking hours than usual
Jan. 30th, 2006 09:57 pmSorry for the update slacking, but work’s been a bitch. A scheduling mishap left us with a deadline too close to actually do the work necessary, so I’ve been working late days and even went in on Saturday. Since we’ve actually been having ridiculously nice weather for January (sunny, 50-60°F) while I’ve been stuck in the office, I’ve been feeling like the girl in Ray Bradbury’s “All Summer in a Day”.
And on top of that I’ve had a cold.
And then, on top of that, I couldn’t get to sleep last night. At all. No idea why. But the weird part: I’m not tired. I’ve been totally awake and alert all day. Even now, almost 10 PM, I’m not sleepy, and I don’t know if I’ll be able to sleep tonight either. Also, I’m less hungry than usual. Maybe some subtle radiation exposure has turned me super-human. I scratched my finger on a package of razors this morning, so I’m not invulnerable. It’d suck if I had one of those typical comics origin stories where I wander into the middle of a bank robbery and have to stop the criminals with my powers, and I’d have to be like “Halt, or I’ll follow you home and keep you up all night by yodeling!”
