craziness of last weekend
Friday: I go into work, finish MY work early. Then get extra pushed on me 'cause a coworker is taking too long with another assignment to get around to this. It's true what they say, "If you're good, you'll get all the work. If you're really good, you'll get out of it." *shrug* we'll see.
I drive home and study my brains out for the test I am taking in the morning. I study till 3 am, when I pass out.
Saturday: I am awakened by my alarm at 6, so I can make it to the test in time. I get there early, and wait because the proctor has never done this on her own before. I manage to finish up the 6 hour test in 5 hours. Yay me!
I then drive down to Harrisonburg to go to the LAN party. Grand ole time. Thanks to Jim and co for creating the gathering of people. Help make burgers, Sing happy bday to rushsputin and wish kitsunekai and Diane a happy birthday in advance. I mean no offence, but felt kinda odd singling out Rushsputin. I do not begrudge him his proximity to the guild and my fellow Malfeans (I take full responsibility for not being as close as I could be to these most worthy friends), but given the influx of several new December birthday people, I was surprised that the festivities were not more inclusive. Introduced Hyperscoot to Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead (awesome movie) and got to hang out with several of my favorite guildites. Around 5 AM, after everything had died down, I was still feeling awake and aware, so I decided to drive home. I had to stop twice along the way to take mini naps, but I ended up home.
I checked my e-mail, found out a friend was wanting to hang out and do a few chores (surely my judgement was impaired by this point by sleep dep). Drove into DC, picked up a few christmas presents, hung out for a little while before dropping her at home. Another friend dropped by shortly thereafter and we talked ("Shouldn't you be asleep?") and then watched Barry Lyndon till 1 am before bidding him adieu and crashing out.
Grand total of sleep from Friday morning to Tuesday afternoon? 12 hours. I remember in college I would get that much in a day.
Got a link to a bunch of 'em

And a few other funny ones.
P.S. I am a horrible human being and forgot to wish two friends happy birthday on their actual day... *sigh*
