oh yeah -- before i forget ... crazy week this week at work. for some reason, i just stress out big time over getting the station's payroll done in time. this past monday, i was sort of behind because i got lazy last week. come monday -- after a full weekend of doing a whole lot of NOTHING and not sleeping to boot, i kept getting sidetracked getting my monday task at hand done. the afternoon came and went and the inclement weather rolled in. delays at the airport ensued, and i was, of course, caught up in it ... further delaying my payroll duties. after everything settled down around 11:30 or so, i noticed how quiet it got in the office. lies! everyone left! you see, my office has a window in it and i normally see what's going on in the operations area. because we recently got a visit from the fire marshall and got cited for having a blocked walkway - the ping pong table was folded up and covered my window. oh well -- it was too late for me to take a bus home so i just stayed on and kept working. i ended up finishing payroll sometime after 1:00am. after that, i attempted to tackle the paperwork that kept piling on my desk. i paid some of the station's bills. i did a few expense reports. i muddled around the network cleaning up. lo and behold -- 4:45am and some of the morning shift arrives. i play it off as if i just got in. yeah, right! come 5:30 -- i was just too damned loopy. i had to go. i somehow stumbled home after the first metrobus to the city and walked into the house around 7:00am. the roommates and friends apparently were worried sick that i wasn't around. i just went up to my room and fell asleep. that is to say, fell asleep for the next 24 hours! sheesh. now -- talk about MESS!
