Also, according to my brother's sleeping coach (yes, it's a real profession, and probably better paid than my job) you should try to avoid computer and TV screens for the last two hours before bed because the light activates the brain into awakeness.
Those three hours I spent lying in bed should suffice for meeting that criteria. From multiple attempts in the last few weeks it seems that
Also, if light activates brain into awakeness then why I find falling asleep (usually short but still) at day much easier than falling asleep at night?

While I do enjoy winter coming, I prefer it to not do so in my face.This sounds like something from a Game of Thrones porn parody.
Like a Python-esque diddy, "Snow In My Face (And Tell Me That You Love Me)"?

Cough! Cough! Cough! ~waves my hand in front of my face to try and clear the smoke~ What did you say again?
New shift supervisor isn't shaping up so well. Whereas the old one would ask people's availability, the new guy just calls specific people and tells them that they've been put on the schedule and need to be back at the plant in 6 hours. Brilliant.
In other work-related news, one of our bulk delivery trucks left two hours early, before it could be loaded all the way. Now, there are about 150 medium-sized boxes lying in piles all over the floor. Five bucks says they're going to be in the exact same spot when I clock in tonight.

Thanks to this evening's longsword sparring, I will have at least three huge great bruises in places I would much rather not have bruises (which, to be honest, is pretty much anywhere). To celebrate, I have just eaten a spring roll.

Since a re-organisation that went into effect after new years day, I've had 1 to 1-1/2 hour to finish my district which normally takes 2 to 2-1/2 hours (and was made bigger in the reorganisation) 3 of 4 days.

After 11 months, my heat is finally fixed, just in time for this winter's first subzero weather.

aww...
I mean YAY!
"Isn't it great that Kanye West is helping this nobody, Paul McCartney, into the music business?"
you may have missed the sarcasm there.
From the DVD cover of Danish movie Blinkende Lygter (SV: Blinkande Lyktor, EN:Winking Lanterns) - "It could haven been a road movie except the get-away vehicle broke down."
We're having yo-yo weather - bouncing between zero and fifties every other day. Our eight inches of snow finally melted day before yesterday, but we got a tiny fresh dusting and a lovely layer of ice to hack off the car. Hooray!
I love snow, but I *do* wish they plowed in the subdivision. I can get all over the metro area, but the 2 blocks from the entrance to the house are hazardous.
In fact, when the snow melted and refroze overnight into 2" of ice, I nearly slid sideways into a truck at the subdivision entrance. Stupid not-plowing!
Wow.
I get busy for a couple of months (OK, 5 or 6 months) and come back to find ONLY 20 or so pages I've missed in this thread?
OK, who's been slacking?!? There should be a LOT more pages that I'm not reading to catch up on here people! ;P
Oh, wait, I have checked in once or twice. The 20 or so pages is only from November. Carry on then.
And Happy New Year! :)
Yeah, whiners here in south Louisiana are whining about how cold it is.
To be fair, last night it did drop into the 20's (F) but they were crying about it before that. And staring at me in a jacket.
But I just finished up a week long family visit in Oklahoma, where the weather was at or near freezing all week. Compared to that we were having a warm spell. :)
Kids even got to play in snow one day in Oklahoma. They do love going to Grandmas for Christmas. :)
Good to see you rags.
When I went in to work at 1 AM today, my car thermometer read -6.
In other news, someone up top decided to move me to a different area of the plant. This means that not only do I have to learn everything from scratch for the third time since I started back in October, but I've got another new supervisor for the third time this week. I'm really getting sick of this "you're doing a really good job, so we're going to give you more work and not compensate you for it" mentality.
I'm sorry man. I'm glad you have regular income, but that's no way to treat an employee unless you are grooming them to take over.
"Regular" income.

Even if they were grooming me to take over, I wouldn't take it. This is the first place I've worked where the supers catch more s@*~ than the hourly guys. I feel kind of bad for them.
Good to see you rags.
Thanks FH, Same to you! :)

Insomnia must be one of that magic Asian kung fu guys... 4 am and I just got up after two hours of lying in my bed. Again. Should I try again around six or just give up and stay up until I drop down?
I could use something sweet now.

Are you sure you're not secretly the "star" of some horrible Truman Show? Man, what the hell?!
Edit: It occurs to me you may also be the lone sane protagonist stuck in the slow-building first half of a Stephen King horror novel. In which case, I'm just another imaginary voice in your head.

I am pretty sure that makes me unimportant third-grade character that will die as soon as there is chance for that... In fact, I am still alive which probably means that we hadn't moved out of prologue yet.

Or maybe I was already killed and the bad guy masquerades as me thanks to internet anonymity?
Library work is fun!
Also, I might finally get to continue Kingmaker on the 17th day!!

Did Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends ever make it across the pond to Europe? You (and I, and the rest) might instead be the imaginary friends of children who've grown up and forgotten us... so we've been bureaucratically-assigned to haunt poor Dave.
