Finally! Eight hours of uninterrupted sleep!
Yeah, I did it with drugs, and I'm agonna do it with drugs again today. Walgreens NightTime cold medicine/cough syrup. Same as Nyquil, only cheaper.
It works for me. For a while... after a coupla weeks, I get dependent on it, so I quit using it. Or maybe it just gets ineffective, I dunno.
I know that I got my ass kicked last night. Busy all night long. I was gonna stay over and do some paperwork, but I decided the hell with it, the day people could do it. I wanted to come home, so I did.
All of the usual things that go along with working too hard I have... sore legs and back and a nasty attitude.
I find that it's getting harder and harder to control my attitude lately. I think that a lot of that's due to really really wanting to work days and still not knowing when that'll happen. It really and truly might be July, when the students graduate.
It has been pointed out to me that I could quit, get another job for a while, then come back and get the $10,000 hiring-on bonus. That sounds really tempting.
Speaking of longevity... which I was, kinda... I'm getting my 30-year pin or whatever in April sometime. There are lotsa choices of presents that they are willing to part with, but I think that I'll go with the watch. That or the leather briefcase...
Speaking of briefcases... I noticed something funny this morning. Normally, I carry a briefcase to and from work every day, but occasionally I'll either leave it at home or at work. Anyway, the responses of people vary greatly depending on whether or not I'm carrying it. I always say howdy to people that I meet in the hallways, and I get a more deferential hello back when I'm carrying it. When I'm not, I will frequently get no response to my greeting at all.
Or maybe *my* attitude to different when I'm carrying it, but I don't really think so... but I could be wrong. But don't count on it, I'm not wrong very often.
I need some sleep. Already taken the cough syrup, and I'm about to hit the wall here...
