All the morning "ines" required today.

[mbarrick]

Gah. I found myself overtired last night but when I tried to sleep every little thing that I normally would sleep through (or not otherwise mind) just became another thing that kept me awake. I head the coo-coo clock strike 2:30, but not 3 so I must have finally fallen asleep sometime just before 3:00 a.m.. That bites when the alarm clock goes off at 6:00 and one was already exhausted to begin with. Getting up was not easy this morning. Unfortunately calling in sick was not an option for me today, nor is being a zombie. So caffeine, nicotine and ephedrine to the rescue. I'm surprisingly functional at the moment. I hope I can maintain a useful level of wakefulness until quitting time.

On a tangentially related note: Elaine rocks.
