Ten things on my mind.
January 16th, 2004 by Dusty
1. The coke machine where I work kicks much ass. It keeps the cans so cold that they almost freeze. When you open them, the drop in pressure causes a subsequent drop in temperature, thanks to Bernoulli’s law or Einsteins theory or something, and that drop in temperature is just enough to form ice crystals all up in my delicious diet coke.
2. In the second urinal in the bathroom, there is a single ubergross pube stuck to the back vertical part of the urinal, about ¾ of the way up. I wondered for quite some time how it got there. I personally cannot launch my pubes at things, but apparently someone in the building can.
3. I got almost four hours of sleep last night. I think I know the exact second my sanity left me. It sounded like “sssssssk” in the back of my brain.
4. I and two other people have redesigned a complete corporate website consisting of over 700 pages of information in 9 days. If you add up the hours, and divide by 8 hour workdays, it is roughly 3 months and counting. We get paid for 9 days.
5. We’re still not finished, but should be by Monday. At that time, I plan on inviting my sanity back for a probationary period, just to see if we still get along.
6. This morning, I sneezed, hiccupped, and burped at the same time. The extremely rare “snurccup” is very painful and the recovery process takes several minutes. It should never be attempted, especially while driving.
7. I think I am going to be at work the entire weekend, save tomorrow when I get a reprieve to fly. Flying is a good form of therapy, especially when you fly a sort of crappy plane. You have enough stuff going on to keep your mind from wandering too far.
8. My bed at home is up really high all loft style, with a ladder going up the side. It requires some decent arm strength to get up and down. This morning at about 4 am, nature was calling, so I started flopping toward the ladder. At about the time I needed the arm strength, I realized I had been sleeping on my side, and my left arm was asleep, thus rendering it useless in the bed descent operation. I didn’t fall too terribly far, and it only took me a few minutes to extricate myself from my clothes hamper.
9. The fall scared my cat half to death, and I haven’t seen her since.
10. Comedy is everywhere. You just have to be receptive to it.
