Mr. Jane cannot stand my snooze alarm habit. Of course, I find his snoring unbearable. It's amazing the two of us aren't zombified by now.
My whole life just flashed before my eyes! I gotta get me a life!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I don't think I read about it here, but there is an alarm clock that donates money to an organization you oppose if you hit the snooze alarm too many times. A friend has it to donate to the Republican party.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
In college my roommate Chip and I would set the snooze alarm an hour before we had to get up, and we'd alternate hopping out of bed to hit the snooze button. It couldn't be within arm's length or we'd just turn off the alarm entirely and go back to sleep. But we both loved to be in the drifty dreamy state of falling back asleep.
I was on the top bunk so he got the first two snooze alarms and then we alternated. For an hour.

There's a "There's always room for Jell-O" joke in there somewhere, but I'm too lazy to figure it out.

Okay, that might be even more effective than a bunch in the face.

Sleep bon is pretty much a craven addict that bargains away exercise, coffee, showering, hair brushing, and being on time for work for more sleep.
This is totally me. But sometimes, Awake Sue will also bargains away things for sleep.
basically sleep is just the extremest example of how I am inertia's bitch. It's so comfortable and easier to just stay in bed.

Fucking dog got me up yesterday at 4 am for a walk. So not on. Except that I know when she does that it generally means there's some sort of GI emergency on the horizon, so I've learned not to ignore it.

Coding and Sleeping
I clicked on the Jell-O link and saw on the sidebar a number of stories about Spitzer's prostitute. It strikes me as somehow wrong that being a prostitute should end up being a good career move.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You guys, I think my being so over my job is kind of helping me seem more confident. I gave some pushback in a big fancy meeting this morning, and it totally worked.
