I'm doing 28 things
I am SO DANG TIRED. I’ve been getting up at 3 am to go to wiork for overtime for 5 days straight, then staying up til 11 in order to scrawl out a sorry excuse for homework assignments. My schoolwork is pathetic this week, but we really needed that time put in – too much time off for family crisis’ have nearly slapped us into the poor house, and we ain’t anywhere near seeing the light of day yet. this weekend I have to put my assignments aside to help the girls with theirs; they’ve been struggling over this last month and are really backed up dangerously. SO, sorry professors and wife, I HAVE to work the OT this week and I HAVE to give my daughters some help. I don’t feel like I’m slacking – I just have to rearrange some priorities this week (and maybe next).

How I did it: As McBeth was trying to print some stuff out at the U for our daughter, I messed with the U's printer (trying to be helpful!) and all of the info vanished and I ended up breaking the printer. The little lady was decidedly unhappy with my meddling. I realised in a flash that I had to grab that tiger's tail and get more ink swift-like or the water would just get deeper and hotter as my meddling would soon snowball into a reminder of all the… Read how I did it…
How I did it: Practice. That's all I can say. I didn't exactly have a mentor other than a movie I had seen in the theatre only twice - they didn't have VCR's for consumers yet. I had that thing with me All The Time and used it for everything I could possibly think of. Parents did not feel right having me around their kids. MY parents didn't know what to think of it.

I don’t like going to bed. I’m fine with falling asleep almost anywhere, but the actual act of going to bed (to sleep) I do not really ever look forward to. Even when my eyes are burning out of my head staring at the computer screen.
...and quit screwing around. I have a moderate load of homework to chew through and an already packed schedule that is about to be encumbered by overtime – 10 hour days, 5am-3pm, til the end of December. Screwing around when I should be staying caught up is NOT in my best interest. Wake UP man! slaps self Put on the coffee and get going!
