late again

This morning, when my alarm went off, I thought it was saturday, and that I'd forgotten to turn off my alarm. So I shut it off and went back to sleep. I slept for three and a half more hours.

Was worried because I was supposed to be helping out a coworker out in the shop, but it turned out he didn't need me early. I was out there for much of the rest of the day, though. I felt yucky when I got home, because it was hot out there, I hadn't had time to take a shower, and I forgot my deodorant. It wasn't so bad I was late, because I ended up staying until 6:30 to get the job done (we're not allowed to work overtime). Unforunately, I was so late, that I was still forty-five minutes short. I'll have to make it up next week.

Did I ever tell you about the time I was fired for being late for work... every day for three years?

Then there was another job I had that I was late all the time. We were only allowed a certain number of "occurrences" in total, but each one dropped off the list after one year. Every couple of months I'd gain some points back. Then I'd lose some points and get a warning. I probably got five "first written warnings" in two years.

Amazing pictures.

I'm sure many of you will be reminded of the Jawas. Some of the photos remind me of Michael Whelan's paintings.

I tried to sleep, for almost an hour. Wasn't working.

I really wish I hadn't overslept. It's gonna take me days to get back to normal.

sun's coming up

Time for bed.

Aside from the insomnia and resulting internet time...

Went to one of the local video rental places last night, and discovered it was gone. Didn't have time to reach the only other local store, so went to Blockbuster. They didn't have either of my first two choices, so we ended up with Bubba Ho-Tep and The Incredibles. Bubba was... different. They list it as a comedy, but it's not a laugh-out-loud kind of thing. It has a mummy, but it can barely be considered horror. Maybe you should call it a cult-geek pic?

The forecast for today reads high of eighty. Tomorrow's reads "warmer, with a high of 80." Current temp is 87°.   ???

We have a party to go to tonight. I hope I can stay awake for it. I only got five hours of sleep last night. A friend from work is having a "summer party." And it's also for his promotion. He started in the shipping department over ten years ago, working with me. He moved up to head of customer service, and now, two promotions later, he's moving to Corporate for some big special project. I'm sure he won't be stopping there for more than a couple of years.

Nothing else on the agenda for the weekend. Yard work, of course. Hopefully I can get those cable/network/phone outlets put in the office.
