Last night was different than the night before. I was busy until about 01:30. Then things really started to drag, bad. Really hard to stay awake, or to concentrate on the necessary paperwork. It took a lot of effort to keep the eyes open until 07:00, but I did it.
Not much longer, though. Normally, I would try to stay up until about noon or so, sleep four hours, then get up and go to bed at a "normal" time... but today I'm going to go to sleep now and sleep until I get up, and I'm thinking that I can sleep more tonight.
Did the camera swap with Shawn, and played a little bit with it, but again, my concentration wasn't the greatest. I did get a great shot of a spider, which I will photoshop later...
But right now, pills and bed. More later...
20:37...
It was very unhappy.
The CDRom had disappeared from the system... again.
It told me that the master boot record had been altered.
I struggled with it for a while, then got on-line and got a McAfee virus program, It said that I had the V-Sign virus.
So I went to get a second opinion. There's a free on-line checker, so I tried that. Well, it wanted to erase some data files which were totally innocent and inconsequential, so I let it. But no sign of the V-Sign virus.
And now, dammit, everything is fine. I think that the damned thing is confused, and it got more confused when I plugged in the printer... O'yeah, I plugged in the scanner too, at the same time. I think that was a mistake. No... I'm certain that was the mistake. No, no... the mistake was in getting out of bed. I should have forced myself to stay in bed and go to sleep.
I can't think when I'm tired, but I don't have enough sense to know it. Like I said, I think I can think but I really can't think. Damn, I'm just really lucky to be able to type in such a condition. And you are so lucky to be able to read these words...
Let's see... up 27 hours now. That's probably enough to prove my point.
Now, if I could just remember what the point was... maybe the point is that there is no point. Or the point is that I wouldn't know what a point was unless it stuck me in the eye... a fairly frequent occurrence, when I was frequenting places where there were points flying around. I try to avoid that these latter days. Older, smarter... and mostly too tired to deal with points. Now, blunt objects are altogether different. I still react with alacrity to blunt objects like two-by-fours. Sometimes.
Enough.
Well, this has been a frustrating day in more ways than one. Firstly, I have not been able to get any sleep. And secondly, my computer has been giving me fits. I turned it off to install the printer, and I turned it back on after I'd plugged the cable in.
