Hey, if you took the headache for the team, you really *should* take the going-to-bed-early for the team, as well, you know. The universe has to be balanced, in general, but so is your universe, in a way, too.
Fell better (and if the inner Jewish mommy inside hadn't gone to sleep already in a sensible hour, as both inner and outer Jewish mommies do, she'd have told you to make sure you had been getting enough liquids. But she's asleep, so we don't have to let her take over the keyboard, right?).
I already posted this in my LJ, but it is boggling me a bit, so I am going to repost it here:
My town, it is strange and offputting, and somewhat resembling a police state.
It's 2:30am in Tel Aviv! I hope you get to sleep soon, Nilly.
I saw that, Lee, and I can't stand that they aren't instead going against the buildings with (apparently) such bad ventilation/circulation. I mean, WTF.
Oh, and thanks, Nilly. And I'm sorry your report (and people related thereto) is such a pain in the ass! All-nighters are no good, even/especially if you can plan for them.
Tom! You even knew to take into account the daylight savings time! Which is a good thing, because without it, it would be an hour later, so yay one more hour.
I don't know, um, should I write "if" or "when"? Either one. I don't know which one of them will come into play regarding my going-to-sleep tonight. Each year I try to make sure I get the data for that grant report on time, and each year people end up being late, if sending me any at all.
Lee, I didn't read the whole article in your link, but it already seems so strange to me - isn't there anything they can do before taking such measures? Wow.
[Edit: thanks, Jesse! I didn't so much plan for it, as made-sure-I-have-enough-chocolate for it, but I hoped I'd get all the info over the weekend. No such luck. Oh, well.]
I mean, WTF.
Seriously. Don't they have something better to do with their time?
The thing is, if only one of them were late, it would be not-so-difficult to integrate their data with everybody else's. But *everybody* thinks "well, fine, I'll be the last person", and then, well, not so much with the easy insert and minor changes.
Um, remember when I said that the whine tag doesn't close tonight? Well, it really doesn't.
That is just the worst. People always do that shit to me, and then I get in trouble with my boss for not giving her enough time to review the draft, but it's not me! It's all those other jokers!
