Today would go so much more smoothly if I could crawl under my desk for about 4 hours of sleep. Perhaps I could leave a few signs on my desk: "Please reboot your computer. The Help Desk is down for maintenance inspection for the next few hours. We apologize for the inconvenience."

My dreams were very scattered and fragmented, and I woke up several times with the distinct impression that I was not in my bed, that I was somewhere strange. Very disorienting, and apprehensive. Sleep should be peacful and relaxing always. It's the one refuge we all have in common.

That's what this day feels like anyhow. I started with nothing immediate to do, so I started upgrading computers for people. I'm working on computer #3 right now. I finished Cryptonomicon last week, and haven't picked up a new book yet. I also have a Progeny laptop I could be playing around with, looking at how Linux operates. Usually when I'm bored I'll work on gaming stuff or play freecell, but that's not mentally stimulating.

I will blearily acknowledge that many people wish they could do as little at their job. Help Desk has it's own perks and headaches, one of the perks is getting to have downtime while you are waiting for something to go wrong.

I would enjoy it more if my entire body didn't feel like a block of amber. Every moment is slow and drawn out, even my thoughts are creeping.

Whew... one hour and twenty minutes to goooo......

I hate it when you boss reads your yearly objectives, takes your ideas, and then presents them as his own.

I wanted to make a CD that had all the common drivers we used on our systems, so we could have one source to install everything with. But procrastination abounds, and I haven't done so yet.

Then I read my email and he tells us he wants to make a disk just like described in my goals list! Of course, his list is cluttered with other useless junk, but still...

I'm going to create and burn this CD by week's end, and present it to our IT manager (who's my boss' boss) and make sure he knows that this was my idea. I don't expect my boss to finish before me, as he has over 100 tasks still open in his directory.... grrr... lame - ass people.

It's amazing when you find out the biggest thing standing between you and fully enjoying your life is yourself. I hear some people never realize that. I'm glad I figured that out.

How's that for pui, Kevin? :)
well, mildly i anyway...
