with only my nerdiness to comfort me…

my plan to get more sleep has failed. i was up half the night with a stomach ache somewhere between “i want to throw up” and “why does it feel like someone is reaching under my ribcage and squeezing my stomach as hard as they can? (and this person is the strongest person on earth)”

i stayed home most of the day trying to find a comfortable position so i might get a few precious hours, hell – minutes of sleep. it didn’t work. writhed in a chair while watching ds9, which is pretty much what i did all night too.

this week sucks.

office is going to summer hours – starting at 9am instead of 10am. it’s killing me. i was just getting into the work-every-day pattern, and now a proverbial monkey wrench has been thrown. plus i have to get used to getting up even earlier due to moving downtown – i can’t just take a 10 minute walk down the street to work anymore. plus i’m in college-town withdrawal. what will i do without 80 restaurants all within walking distance?! einstein’s, 24hour burger king, panera, noodles, thai sookdee, al’s….

also the earlier work day results in extreme hunger at odd hours. like 10 am. i’m going to try to hold out until noon, but this plan seems doomed to failure due to the fact that i’m already lightheaded and am having problems concentrating…and staying awake. i have learned from eric that od-ing on coffee is not the way to go here as it will just shorten my attention span. and why is it so COLD in here?!

but otherwise things are fine. carry on.

if you have to make up names, at least come up with normal ones. i mean, every name doesn’t have to be exciting and eclectic. try ‘scott jones’ or ‘karen simpson.’ don’t use crazy names that sound like circus people.

walking to the el it wasn’t raining. when i got on the el it wasn’t raining. when i got off the el it was pouring and i had 5 blocks to walk in my white tshirt and no umbrella because it’s still packed and i can’t find it. i hope i dry off before the client meeting.
