my little pathetic joys and sorrows, lol

I am SO tired. I worked 9 hours today, starting only 30 minutes earlier than usual - and yet, I feel totally depleted of all energy. I don't know how people can do 10 hours a day or more. Unless there is considerable variety to their work. I was doing more or less the same thing all day, and at some point my brain pretty much turned itself off. The funny thing is, I often do 8,5 hours - and it's usually fine, unless I'm not feeling well for whatever reason. So maybe it was the earlier start that did it. I know most people would scoff at the immense 'hardship' of having to get up 30 minutes earlier - but to me, it does make a difference. And my crazy early bird coworkers keep telling me how much longer evenings I would have to myself if I only chose to start work earlier in the morning. What they don't get is that I wouldn't really enjoy those longer evenings very much, because I would feel like I'm going to fall flat on my face any minute. If even a half-hour difference has this effect, how could I possibly start work at 6 or 7 a.m.?... That is just plain INHUMAN, no matter what they tell me, LOL. And I am NOT going to start hitting the pillows at 9 p.m. either, thank you very much. End of discussion. Keep your silly farm animal habits to yourselves.:P

In other news, the company managing our medical benefits is giving out $100 prepaid American Express gift cards as a reward for filling out an online health questionnaire. I just got mine in the mail last Saturday, and then promptly grabbed my car keys and went shopping.:) ( Read more... )
