Do you have any idea what it’s like to get to bed around 1:30 a.m., only to have the phone ring at 2:00 a.m., getting you up to fix a computer problem at work on a system you aren’t that familiar with, finally fixing it and getting back to sleep at 4:30 a.m. with the prospects of needing to get up again at 7:30 a.m. so you can go back to the office?
It is not fun! Not one bit!
So I gave up on the idea of a 7:30 a.m. wake up call, slept through two plays of Peter Gabriel’s US album— I have my alarm clock/radio/CD set to wake me up to music!— and finally rolled out of bed around 9:30 a.m. It was 11:00 a.m. by the time I finally got to the office this morning. Needless to say I am not in the best of moods right now, nor am I really capable of applying my brain to any actual work. So far, I’ve checked my phone messages, checked my e-mail, answered anything pressing, complained to head office that my pay statement arrived in an OPEN envelope (not pleased about that!), declined five selections worth of video and music club offerings (WHY do I even belong to these things???), rifled through my briefcase organizing all the loose papers I’ve thrown in there over the last six months, taken measurements to make a little bookshelf on my new cubicle, checked my e-mail again, and contemplated what I should have to lunch— oh, sorry… BRUNCH— today.
Fun? Wow!
