You'll be a hit, paperdol!
It really pisses me off that the more tired I get, the less I can sleep.
Me too.

Please don't tell me this! I've been up since 4:30 to get Mr. Jane to the airport, run some errands, get out to FW for an event (an hour and a half in traffic-event sucked anyway), got back to work about an hour ago. Will run home from work at luch to let the dogs out-which leaves me no time for acutal lunch, and then finally leave work at 7:30 and probably make it home at 8:00.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
(I usually average 5-6 hours during the work week).
YIKES. I would die.
Edited to add: Oh DEAR, Daisy. That's a hell of a day!

Every time I read about y'all reading the books slowly...well, I'm looking at you funny. I plowed through that thing, not even looking up to walk out on the balcony.
But I'm like that with books.
I work on a unix system at my job and I hate it.
See, I prefer the unix system. Much of my computering life has been lived on the command line. And the rest of it on macs. I've spent much of today trying to find some stupidly named copyrighted, trademarked,proprietary, licensed widgetx on the desktop that does the equivalent of 8 letter and a space on a command line. And dealing with my mail through an awkward web interface. And not being able to find folders on the network.
And freezing my ass off because I'm in the half of the computer room that doesn't have the bigass Space Odyssey (for 2007!) blinking boxes pouring out heat. I may have to resort to cuddling up to the 15K next door to defrost my appendages. Except I'm afraid a robotic arm would reach out and I'd be consumed by the sinister blinking box.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
It isn't the unix system itself that I hate. It's that everyone else I deal with uses either mac or pc, and I have to use a special software suite to read Word docs and Excel files, and they never translate quite right, and when those special symbols make all the difference and I can't see them, well, that's a problem. Later this year they are switching us to PCs. It will be better because then I can work from home, but I expect it will come with its own set of problems. At least I'll be able to read a damn Word document without sacrificing a goat.

Yay for Comicon reading paperdol!

The problem with being bicomputeral is that your fingers get confused and go for the wrong bits at awkward moments.

see, this is why I don't want to get a mac at home.
