A long old night. A really long old night. And a horrible one, too. I had to work way too hard, and I had to be nice to people that didn't deserve it.
On the up side, I didn't kill several people (co-workers) who deserved it. Which means, unfortunately, that they'll be around to make my life miserable another day.
Ooooo, that sounds harsh. OK, I didn't really mean it, about the co-workers, anyway. Everyone was pretty busy and pretty stressed-out.
About half of my stress was caused by the fact that the main printer in the department, which had had a million reports run through it before we inherited it, was out of the "special" paper that it feeds on. So I had a choice: sit by the printer and pull each sheet of paper out individually as they printed, or do patients. So I did patients and said fuck the paperwork, I'll get to it later. Well, by the time "later" got here, first shift had arrived. To a huge mess, and nobody knew where to start on it.
To make a long story short, paperwork sucks... work sucks. So I got a half-hour of overtime in. After work, I went over to Doug's to install a video card in his computer and trim his HD down some. We got done about 10:00, and I'm thinking that I'll sleep for a couple of hours. It is going to be a beautiful day (it already is) and I want to take advantage of it.
But right now, I want to sleep....
