I got here at 6:45 so take that. More drinking will probably solve that problem though.

What did you get called to the principle's office for?

Woke up at 5AM again, like yesterday. That's an hour early. I've already read through my morning routine of news/websites. WTH am I going to do now?

It could be worse, I guess. I woke up at 4AM on Wednesday.

I got up at 2am today, wired awake. Normal wake time is 4:30-5am. Feel alright now, but I'll probably miss my radio show tonight when I fall asleep early :^(

WTH do you do at 2AM? I could go work in my shop but the neighbor's house is 15' away and she probably wouldn't appreciate it. :biggrin:

Is this an old person problem? I can see more productivity if I chose but I'd have to start going to bed at 8PM.

Try to go back to sleep, but it didn't happen. I listened to the radio, and fucked around with my phone. In retrospect, I would have done something more productive.

Did you get a smart phone? Surely not. I can't be the last Luddite on OT.

Hey, wonder if I can get a custom title.

Nantucket island isn't even our area. It's technically Mass, which is strictly T&D. They came running to us for "support" .... which basically means, we're doing it because they have not a clue about generation. It keeps me busy I spose.

Yea, I have one for work. My ideal phone would be one that allows data, but can't take calls. The only calls I get are from clients. I trained everyone else to use email :^D

If it wasn't for work, I probably wouldn't have a phone at all. I went years without one.

I might. I need to enjoy it while I can because the first half of next year is going to be chaos.

You tell those bastards that only the 1st 42 days of the year can be chaos.

The only downfall here is that I said the word "him" .... because we all know that women do not exist in an engineering department. It's like seeing a white elephant in the middle of Portland, Maine.

Way back when, we have a few but 1 EE was smoking hot. Tall, thin, blond, athletic..... Lived with her folks on Lake Hartwell. I still remember her windsurfing....OMG. Then she gets engaged to some Navy puke. Wasn't even an officer....

So I'm debugging JavaScript, which I don't know, on a shared VM, over a remote connection, through a VPN. I miss Python. :D
