Working on a friday night

[heyzeus]

I've been in this office since 6:15 am. I have a midnight filing deadline, and there's good odds that I'll be here til almost exactly that time.

Just wanted to share. Can I have a little pity, maybe? Feel free to ask me questions to keep me awake.

I worked to 6:30 tonight and wasn't happy about it, and I didn't start until after 8. I feel guilty for being such a slacker now.

[heyzeus]

No, don't. Very few of my days are like this. We all have deadlines in life; it's just that some of them come with surprises.

My main one of the day? I really needed the affidavit of a water system manager. Tried calling her all day yesterday, all day today - absolutely urgent. I get a phone call from her and she sounds horrible. Turns out she had to be taken to the hospital yesterday to have two stents put in. Hope she gets better, she's an awesome client - a wacky Australian who has become a wackier small town Australio-Texan.

Yeah, I've got to miss a John McCutcheon concert because yesterday I suddenly got a deadline on some school stuff for tomorrow morning. Gotta finish it tonight.

I just filled out a timecard for the week with 98 hours on it.

I feel your pain.

I'm still working too. I would feel sorry for you, but when you get off work, you can go put on a shirt, hop in a cab and be at a 24 hour party within minutes.

Me? I live in a dry county where the only places that serve booze close at 12 and the party (read, 20 people at a bar drooling on themselves) stops when the first one of these people takes a swing at the person next to them. Then everyone is kicked out and said party ends w/ the cops being called. We hop onto our steer powered wagons and scream "YAAAAAAAAAA MULE" as we fire our security sixes into the air and speed away.

And you want me to feel sorry for you?

Holy ....

That's too many hours rad.

Answering phone calls for a TV station on a Friday night...painful, but amusing.

I've had two consecutive calls: one guy who wanted to know if he could trade us two tickets to a comedy show (after he asked me several questions about Bill Frist, even though we're in Nebraska) and a "Who's on First" routine where the guy could not understand that the name of the channel that the Huskers are playing on is the "Versus" network.

Well, I'm out of here I think. got work done. But, I've got to take an exam, the leed exam to be precise, on monday morning which apparently requires ~30 hours of studying and I've done ~3 so far

So, my weekend is going to blow. I'll probably even have to skip the uber fun bar fight tonight. Hope you all have a good one!!!!
