Just bloody well typical...
May. 1st, 2003 12:53 amSo, I know, I know...I'm always whining about work and time...but this time (HA!) it's with pretty decent reason.
You see, I've discovered that I have to sleep...sometime...and due to having to go to work and not being able to really call in sleep, I'm tired, *and* behind on some of everything...
I have a project that I've been wanting to, needing to, immensely desiring to finish for Liz's mag, and it's going to get done last minute. Because I have to go to work tomorrow.
Bri and Janelle's wedding left me far more wrung out than I'd expected (not to mention not getting more than 18 hours sleep in 5 days time) and then getting up early on Sunday kinda fugged up my sleep schedule. And, it would seem much of my ability to think.
I didn't get the full transcription of this interview done until last eve at 2 in the morning (Mom nicely showed me the correct headphones at 1 am, which made the whole thing suddenly much easier to do...dammit...) and my writing skills have much deteriorated since working this job...and now that I'm in the groove, I really REALLY need to go to sleep so I don't start nodding off at the wheel like this evening on the way home (SCARY!).
I swear, I don't know how I've been making it to work or home lately...I've been working through much of lunch this last week, so I've not even gotten to nap, so I do so when I get home and that, of course, just screws everything up...
So here I am, not being able to do much more than ramble (hence the post), and I'm not done yet turning a 7000 interview into a 2-3000 word article, and it's 1 in the morning, and my brain hurts, and I have to go to the evil work tomorrow, and of course (those of you that know and love me) know that I do most of my writing in the wee hours of the morning, and jam through the rest of the day on Mountain Dew and Adrenaline...unfortunately I have to drive to work (see last paragraph) and work has been so boring of late (busy, but boring) that it's all I can do not to pass out on the phone...
Where was I? Oh yes, bitching...
I'm just waiting for
redhound and
jendavis77's wedding on baited breath. Besides the joy of it all (really, I really really really mean this!), I'm taking some time off around it, so, you know...mini-vacation.
And then I'm worried about
wildpaletz and all...I want her to be all good and better, and employed.
...and my credit is ganked again thanks to wedding whosits whatsits with B&J...kinda threw stuff off...but I'll survive, but it just means that my fiscal plan of self preservation is outta skew for a couple of months...
...and I keep thinking about S.S., one of Janelle's bride's maids who I've met a couple of times...we danced a little bit, and talked, and now she's stuck in my head, and I don't know if that's a good or bad thing, but it's distracting, and worrisome, and really nice at the same time...
...and if I didn't need to sleep now, or work tomorrow, I would so be finishing this thing tonight...but I can't avoid sleep, and can't call in sick tomorrow, and tomorrow (read today) is May 1 all day long, right? Right?
Liz, hon, if you're reading this, I'll have an email to you by the end of "The Day"...you know...before Midnight...
Egads, I need a new bag baby...I need a new bag...
