Hello Darkness, my old friend

Well, here it is.  1:00 am, and I'm wide awake.  A somewhat normal state for this hour of the night.  I would so love a solid night of uninterrupted sleep.  I'm to have a cervical (neck) shot on Monday, so that could make a real difference.  It also might help with the painkiller issue, as in, I may not need to take as much, because this shot should reduce some of the nerve pain.

So, update on the attorney situation.  He has yet to respond to my last email on Wednesday.  Oh, color me shocked.  My advice to him?  Grow the fuck up.  Your clients will disagree with you.  They won't like being treated like a mushroom (know how mushrooms are grown?  In the dark and fed shit).  They will get frustrated and angry, and take it out on you.  If you don't like it, or think they should act only in a manner you deem personally appropriate, you're in the wrong profession.  Get over yourself.

It's been a somewhat crazy day.  I spent 6 hours on the phone with the Help Desk, before receiving the news that I really need a new tower.  Since I'll be out of the office Monday and Tuesday, I'll need to go into the office on Wednesday to pick up my new tower, and have things moved from my current desktop to the new one.  So, by 1:00 today, I was done with my work day.  The OT I planned to work this weekend is down the drain.

So, for good news.  Jason has a job!  He received an offer from the utility company he's been interning at.  Such great news, and quite a relief!  I'm so glad he won't be one of the many college graduates facing the search for a job.,  He's very happy, because he really wants to work for this company.  He enjoys the work, and his co-workers, and that's a large part of the work battle right there.  So, he'll graduate in December, and then begin his job - well, the start date offered was for June, but that's because they thought his graduation date was May.  He may be starting in January, since he graduates in December. 

So, I'm watching Craig Ferguson.  How much do I love that man!  Although, after reading his autobiography, and watching him, I know he would drive me absolutely mental with his inability to sit still or be quiet for even 5 minutes.  He's a bundle of frenetic energy - great in small doses, but I personally need someone who takes a breath once in a while.

I started watching a new L&O series - L&O:UK.  Interesting to watch.  I found myself having to rewind (thank God for dvr!) to listen to the actors one more time.  The accents are very interesting - I'm getting very good at picking out the different accents, although I have no idea which region they're native to, or which class.  I think it's fairly new, and you can see everyone trying just a bit too hard, but overall, it's fairly good.  Pretty much the same as L&O Original Recipe when it first started.

Ok, time to try again to sleep.  It's only 1:20, and I don't hold out much hope.  Who knew I could this many painkillers, and still be wide awake?
