After several days of 2-3 hours a night, last night I finally slept. Of course, now I'm tired again, but nothing like I've been earlier in the week.

Got up this morning to find that we had no electricity; apparently the storm last night (that I didn't know we had, I was sleeping!) knocked it out. Whee.

ink_ling took me to work as he was leaving at the same time, but when we got there the front door was wide open and my co-worker Dotti was in her car flagging me over. I went over and she said the alarm was going off, there was an unidentified car in the parking lot, and she had called the police. So, off I went back home for an hour, only to find that the door wasn't latched properly yesterday and it blew open in the night. The unidentified car was a client waiting for his attorney to come in so they could talk. Big whoopdie. At least I got to come in late.

It's been very, very slow this week. I'm very glad it's Thursday.

That is all.

Just now, on my smoke break, a man was walking down the street behind our building (very behind, like past a fence and an empty field).. He kept looking my direction and yelling "Viva! Viva! Amigo!".. curious.

I would also like to bitch about the fact that this machine won't do any screen resolution higher than 1076x768.

Damnit, this ain't enough space.

That's all.

My high school shop teacher either lives or works in the apartments next door to the office where I work.

dear angry people all over the world: BLEH!

yeah, today was hell at work.

I'm going home now.

I'd been considering finding a futon for my office/computer room, as most couches would be too big.. Today, ink_ling and I found one on the sidewalk in front of our apartment. Both the mattress and frame seem new, except for one broken bolt that's gonna be very easy to fix. It's a smaller one, too, which is perfect.

Why in the world anyone would throw away a piece of furniture worth several hundred dollars I don't know, but whatever -- free for me, and now that room doesn't look so completely barren.

And now the TMI bit: Really, really hoping this next hour and a half go by quickly, as I'm cramping soemthing fierce and I really, really, really don't want that to happen here at the office.

Woooo.. long weekend. Spent Friday night sleeping, but Saturday we had plans to go barhopping; it had been awhile since we've participated in that particular activity. Four bars, two drinks each. Yes, it's still fun.

Today I'm back at work of course. Thankfully, it should be a slow day, because otherwise we'd be going crazy -- both of the paralegals called in, one of whom also plays receptionist. So today I get to do her job. Fun stuff.

today I talked to a client named Remark Chism (/chizzum/, not /kizzum/.).

just thought I'd share that.

One of these days I'll go to bed at a decent hour and get more than 5 or 6 hours of sleep.

The ups and downs of this place are wierd. I'll have jack to do for 2 hours, then a rush of 3 people calling me at once for 1 hour. Doesn't seem to be any pattern to it, either, but I'm sure in time I'll figure it out.

Today I went through my desk, previously occupied by a Julie. Julie had a huge stockpile of marinara sauce, ketchup, BBQ sauce, and mustard in the top drawer; one had burst and grossified the bedding of rubber bands the condiments were resting on. And a toothbrush. And post-it notes like you wouldn't believe. Crazy stuff, mang.

Potluck tonight! I'm hungry now, though. I wonder if I'll be able to wait 'til 7 to eat; right now some cheesesticks or a cheeseburger-hotdog would rock my asshole from the inside out.

Today's nice, a little muggy; around 70F, very wet but it's only sprinkles, fog of varying density hanging over the city. Tomorrow it'll freeze. The day after it'll be time to go swimming. This whole area's weather is fucked.

Today's gone by quickly; three more hours to go, and I've got work to do, so it'll continue that pace. Hallelujah.

Not enough work to do that it's keeping me from LiveJournal, obviously.

Tonight, mopping! Laundry! Sweeping! Sleeping pills!

Well, I'll wait until 1130-1200 for the last bit, if they're even necessary. Bought them the other day considering we've run out of other sleep supplements, which I tend to use pretty regularly; melatonin just don't always cut it, though, so this time I picked up something synthetic. We'll see.

I use that phrase a lot, "We'll see".. I wonder if it indicates a mindset of patience, apathy, lackadaity (lackadaisicalness? Now that I've thought of it, the original word is completely obscured.), or some other option? Who knows.

"Who knows" is definitely apathy.

Renea just called me to ask me to relieve her for lunch. I hate filling in on the front desk. *grumble*
