That robot thing creeped me out bigtime, not sure why.

Are you having an existential crisis, questioning your continued existence in this reality?

I'm having a time-space crisis where time is not moving as fast as it normally does.... At least it's finally past 5.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Man, that robot is creepy. At one point, it almost flips over but doesn't. I wonder if it could flip itself back, or just continue upside-down.
I think it kept going upside down. The creepy part is how it looks like it "learns" what it's trying to travel. Like on the stairs, it starts of with that kinda scrabbly thing it does (also kinda creepy) and then once it starts flipping those little-whatever they are-starts using them uniformly.
I'm ready to leave work now. Still have about 3 1/2 hours.

Grrr. I know that I told the bookstore I was unavailable to work from the 15th to the 26th. I know I did! When I saw the schedule for this week last Saturday, I'm positive I saw no mention of my being on call for tonight, because I would have told the manager then there was no way I could work tonight, since I'm hitting the road at 6:00 tomorrow morning for New Jersey. But, I just got a phone call asking why I didn't call in like I was supposed to. Um, because I wasn't on frickin' call when I last saw the schedule?!?
I've got to clean, do my dishes, and pack tonight before going to bed before 10:00. There's no way in hell I'm going to work. The manager was all "Well, I guess we'll get by." I guess you'll have to, because I'm not available.

I think that robot had certain insect-like qualities that made it a bit creepy. Well, it was kind of a creep-crawly.
Man, I am tired. Perhaps I am just coming down with the ick that has been running rampant through my office. There are actually two varieties of the ick.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

It's certainly more insectile than most machines or larger animals ever manage, that's for sure.
I recently cut back on my Celexa, and I'm wondering if upsets this week and last are not entirely coincidental.

It's your birthday, sumi--go home!
I just realized that I can't go in tonight and ask if I can pick up my paycheck early now that I've ticked off the manager. Damn. Oh, well, I've got enough for the drive out and hotel stay tomorrow night.
