The upside to work.

I think the only real upside to work (apart from cash -- but that's almost a secondary incentive, sometimes, especially at my current pay rate of $8.75/hour. [That's $8.75/hour Canadian, by the way, which is $7.18 USD]) is that I get stories to tell and amuse my friends for the rest of my life. Or, at least the next week.

What else... Oh, yeah, I got off work on Sunday at 7:15 instead of 9 (wooHOO) and I did at least 7 completes on the survey I was talking about above, and did another complete on another project I was switched on to, on the only call I did for that survey before going home.

In other news, I am tired, it's 4:22am, I need to shower and I'm debating going to bed after my shower or staying up all night to finish my #%)*@# methodology assignment. Let's see. If I stay up now, I can probably make it to 8-9am, which is 3-4 hours of work from when I'm done my shower. Then I could wake up at 3pm and work from 3:30-5:30, but on six hours of sleep, that might not be good work.

Alternatively, I could go to bed at 5, wake up at noon, and work from 12:30-6pm, which is five and a half hours of work, which will likely be punctuated by phone calls and other distractions.

Hm. Shower now. Decide after. Will keep you posted. (I'm sure you're thrilled.)

Grr. Argh!

Armed with a Coke, having been refreshed by my shower, I am currently wearing a green face mask (must keep up my "luminescent skin", to quote the lovely JB) and am determined to stay up 'till 9:15 or so to work.

Quit laughing, it's going to ruin my determination!

(Ah, the music brings back memories. Once upon a time, this was totally my theme song.)

I am awake.

Went to bed around 9:30am.

Dragged my sorry ass out of bed at about 1:40pm.

Yay!fourhoursofsleep.

I'm SO glad I don't work tonight because my voice sounds like a frog's stuck in my throat. A particularly large, fat and ugly frog, at that.

Before I went to bed, I sent JB like, two emails, asking her advice on various things, and she was so helpful. :D I love having friends who are smart and know what the hell you're talking about.

Also, yay shuttle launch! I'm so excited Discovery launched. I never used to really pay attention to the shuttle flights, but I am strangely excited that Discovery took off today without problems.

Okay. It's 2:30pm. I have to leave in 3.5 hours. My methodology must be finished and printed by then.

<takes deep breath>

Righto. Here I go.
