Sparky, I lost Dallas for 15 minutes and was hysterical. I can't even imagine how awful this must be.
Likewise Gud, job problems when you have a family are beyond my reckoning. Well beyond.
You are both very much in my thoughts. Hang in there.
And what's the fun in becoming an immortal demon if you're not regular, am I right?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Dammit, that's not what I meant to have for breakfast.
I'm a decent night person. I can stay up really late. But I guess the fact that I can wake up really early is more important and I'm better characterised as a morning person. You remember my reaction to the idea that I should have caffeine in the mornings. It just doesn't seem right for me to need it. I got 40 years without it. Up is up.
It wouldn't help me on a crap morning like this anyway.

According to my mother, I stumbled around semiconscious in the morning from the time I was a toddler. One of the more annoying things about moving away from home was that people talked to me in the morning. My family knew better.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
A conversation I once had with someone in the FAC:
"If you get up at 9:00, half the morning is gone!"
"Yes, the
right
half."

My first boss didn't believe I was a real computer programmer because I didn't chug caffeine drinks. I pulled all nighters, sure. I just did them without chemicals.
Maybe that's why he never paid me as much as the guys.
My mother is a very early riser, but she's also a huge coffee drinker. I never worked out if she needed it, but she sure liked it. My sister never picked up the morning habit--for her and my father it's more likely to be an after dinner thing. I guess we're all annoying.

Because books.
I guess I don't need as much caffeine as other people because I drink (black) tea, not coffee? But I drink it all day long. And I don't feel entirely coherent until after the second cup.
I also don't feel entirely awake until after my second or third cigarette.

My mother is a night person who for years measured her consumption of coffee in pots. She's cut down.

That's my mom too!
I can be good in the early morning or late at night as long as I get 7-8 hours of sleep in there somewhere. And about 12 oz of coffee (only in the morning).

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
