So if I'm having trouble sleeping at night due to free-floating anxiety issues, should I drink less coffee, even if I only drink coffee in the morning?
Angel: You know, I killed my actual dad. It was one of the first things I did when I became a vampire. Wesley: I hardly see how that's the same situation. Angel: Yeah. I didn't really think that one through.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I get 12 or 13 days (it accrues in hours, I can't remember how it adds up), but I'm always having to take time for someone being sick, or random school holidays, or 3 day weekends. We generally only take one actual vacation week a year, and I would love to have two.
We do get the entire period of Xmas-New Year's off. Usually the 24th is a work day, but we're furloughed the 24th and Jan. 4th this year, so that whole stretch everything is closed (and they turn off the power and lower the heat and basically shut all the way down, the whole campus.)

Glamcookie, when you are ready for a sitter, I have one for you.
Aw yeah!

Trust my rage
Went to the doc and I do have a sinus infection. Antiboitics will be had this evening.
I'm sorry you need the antibiotics, but glad you got them. I wish my sore throat was amenable to antibiotics. I'm taking Frisco in today for his cough - found out one of his caregivers has/had pneumonia. Not that she gave it to him and I had already made the appointment before I learned this, but it just convinced me that there are some powerful germs going around.

Caffiene can linger in the body for something like 17 or 18 hours, so it could help.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I would recommend a cocktail in the evening.

I've only taken a full week off work two or three times ever. Maybe four.

I finally (after 5 years) got my first bump up in vacation time. Of course I'm going to be using all of it on maternity leave...

Due dates are tricky that way!

Alcohol does make me sleepy, but when it wears off I'm often wide awake, so I've been avoiding alcohol as a sleep aid. Still, I'm more likely to notice this with beer than other booze, so maybe I should pick up some vodka or something....

For me, one drink really does often help with random anxiety. But as noted, that is just me!

Coding and Sleeping
I just finished watching Independence Day during treadmilling. For some reason I like that movie, it's hokey as hell, if they had a science adviser he must have been drunk through most of the production, and almost everything is implausible. Yet I still like it, though I kept wanting the first lady to airlock one of those aliens.
