Today so far.
Aug. 5th, 2001 04:37 am12:15am - Finish laundry.
12:30am - Turn off computer.
12:45am - Lay out tomorrow's (today's) clothes and put batteries in backpack, put parts of wireless headphones back into package for eventual return to Fry's which may or may not be tomorrow. Transfer a pound of frozen chicken to the fridge to defrost for tomorrow's "whew-I-made-it" meal. Anything but sleep.
1:00am - Remembering an activity that might make me tired, I turn on the computer, in search of pr0n.
1:30am - OK, lights out, for real this time.
2:00am - I wonder if those sounds are coming from upstairs or next door?
2:30am - No, DON'T open your eyes and check the clock. It'll only make it worse.
3:00am - Ah, who am I kidding? I'm not sleeping tonight. But what will I do with all this extra time before work? It does not occur to me to cook some eggs for myself.
3:30am - Shower.
3:45am - Emerge from shower to discover my alarm clock has been going off for nine minutes. It's very close to the wall and as such has probably woken my neighbors.
4:05am - OK, I'm dressed, and out of Instant Breakfast; I'll just go to 7-Eleven on the way to work. I hope they have some of those Bakery Stix with the pizza; I tried one last night and it was OK for 99 cents.
4:20am - They were out of pizza stix; I instead got a $2.99 Italian Sub. Didn't like it; didn't finish it.
4:30am - Show up at work 30 minutes early, boot up computer, start up the applications I'll need when I start actual work, activate the support phone, and write this Livejournal entry.
4:45am - Something is making the cubicle walls creak.
4:55am - Turn off lights and doze until 6:00 so that I can be alert enough to do something while I'm here. Also, hope the cubicle walls have stopped their creaking.
12:30am - Turn off computer.
