Friday:

I could have gone to ManRay for the Arabian themed night, which sounded awesome according to Photiq and Sirendipity.
I could have gone to a swell party hosted by Indecenthamtard.
Hell, I could have done both.

Instead, I stayed at work from five till one in the morning, working on a tricksy laptop problem and accruing many extra hours to make up for the time I'll miss on Thanksgiving. That will almost be a normal week.

Christmas will suck though. Seven unpaid days is pretty unhappy. I'll see what I can do about that.

apparantly, I forgot to configure something on it as well. That's what happens when you work for 17 hours. Bastards.

All work days should be 6 hours. Just cut out all the time you are e-mailingand IMing, and just count your actual work time.

I wonder how much productivity was lost after the Interweb went up.

probably not much, it's just that we waste time in better ways now.

Re the laptop problem - think of the job satisfaction! ;) Your sleep pattern must be quite disturbed, but overtime is overtime and it's cool that you got to make up some time. Hope you do sleep well soon though :)

P.s. I'll be staying in a room called '1001 Arabian Nights' in Amsterdam soon (see picture (http://www.greenhouse-effect.nl/hotel_form.htm))

Very lush, I like the room.
Does it come with a hooka? ;)
