So this Friday, I am taking the day off.
From work, at least.
I need to do a vet trip (tooth cleaning for Baby), replace my lost driver's license, get new shoes, see about getting my tires rotated and a crack in my windshield fixed, and get some medicine specially compounded for Fang (very low dose aspirin).
I don't think it will all get done....

16 hour work day + 1 hour drive each way = sleep now.
Fortunately per my boss, I don't have to be in "at the crack of dawn".
I assure you, dawn shall be lying in well-dispersed fragments by the time I am there.
New glasses this weekend.

That sounds like a rough day. Hope you got some rest.
kas:
morning! pretty good 
how are you?
how are you? I love Winter, around here. South Carolina doesn't so much have Winter, as an exceedingly long Autumn...
I really like the people I work with, but even the ones who aren't from hot climates (who have a legitimate excuse) are such babies about the weather- the one guy from Michigan excepted. I, on the other hand, quite enjoy an excuse to take a short walk...

Oh... I don't want to go naming names. By "gotten" I mean over the past few years. As soon as the site blew up the names started getting weird.
I just don't look at the girls more than once every few months or so. Something on the main page made me laugh.

That sounds like a pretty nice winter. Too often here Winter is -30 windchill and tons of snow. Right now though it is relatively warm and has been raining. Which has washed away much of the dirt & grime. It's pretty nice.
I'm hoping it means we will have an early Spring.

I think I am fortunate in that generally when I do something ill-considered, I am the one who suffers for it. And sometimes, that which is suffered proves to be quite insubstantial.
Suffice to say, by end of day, there's one mistake I shall not repeat- one way or another.

I agree with catdad. As long as you take someting away from it, especially if it's a valuable lesson, all is not lost.

I work 2 days a week as a teacher. Im not an educated teacher, but i got the job because the kids (8-16 year old) liked me.
When i try to teach, i offend point out how necessary it is for us to fail once in a wile. It makes us wake up and learn. And we also learn how to be humble and see that we all need each other to succeed. I hope you learn of what happen and that you dont suffer for the mistake.

I finished Pericles, which I think would be much more fun to watch in performance than it was to read. Proof of two things: (1) no matter who you are, not all your work is your best and (2) sometimes bad writing can be saved by good acting.
Other than that... I'm still tired.

You make a very good point. I'm very content with being his. If animals come in soul mate form he's definitely mine.
So.
I got in to work at nine AM on Thursday... and I was at work until 9 AM Friday. Yep. First full 24 hours I ever spent at work (although I have come close a few other times). We had a software deployment experience a bit of trouble... fortunately not my team's fault, but still our responsibility. Also fortunately, I was able to get...

Yeah, it's tough getting back into rythm after you change your sleep habits even just one night. I often find it takes about 3 days for things to correct themselves.
franpire:
wow, 24 hours non stop, that's pretty amazing! I'm happy you're enjoying your work, especially with those hours. Lucky your mom can help out too.
I love tea too, although I am drinking way to much coffee these days! I love ginger tea. Oh & tea with lemon and honey makes me smile too xo

xoSo, does it really make sense to have school zones near High Schools? I mean, if you haven't learned not to dart out in traffic by ninth grade... 
I didn't get a ticket, it just struck me as a bit absurd yesterday morning. Maybe we need school zones for colleges and universities, then? And since hopefully none of us ever stop learning, or at least...

i thought of your blog....as i slowed down for a local high school spped zone this morning....makes no sense to me at all.
tiger_fodder:
I'm told I sound like I'm an old man. 
Oh, and one more resolution- this year, I am going to actually see Mercury in the sky, with my own two eyes. I can't believe I've been alive this long and *not* seen all the "naked eye" planets.
Looks like the best shot will be around April the 8th, in the evening.

So, my New Year's resolution was to read every one of Shakespeare's plays. I have only really read a few of the tragedies in full before this (Julius Caesar, Macbeth, Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet), and one of the histories (Henry V)- this is a distinct defect in my education that I have waited entirely too long to rememdy....

That sounds like quite the undertaking, sir. Good luck to you.

Good luck with the reading.
I'm fine. How are you?
