12:56am

it is 12:56am. i'm sure i could find something worthwhile to work on, but i just don't want to. my feet hurt and my chair is comfortable. the big part of tonight's work doesn't begin for 2 more hours. i'm already ahead of the game by not being asleep on my desk, as i was last night at this time. as it is, i've rolled myself out behind the counter where my lethargy is visible to both cameras and customers. but i don't care, because i could be asleep right now, in a warm bed, fighting a pushy dog for my half of the blankets.
i'm also slightly alarmed at a new numbness in my left hand. if it were my right hand, i could easily explain it away as my carpel tunnel syndrome flaring up. the left hand his more problematic and i'm hoping i won't be suffereing later from a stroke or a stress-induced heart attack. i suppose only time will tell.
i bought new sneakers through a copany that specializes in non-slip work shoes and they are surprisingly cute and good quality. unfortunately, my feet have become so acustomed to poor quality shoes that they are complaining fiercely. don't be surprised if you see me in my work shoes somewhere out in the real world. it's not so much that i have need to break in the shoes. it's my feet that need to conform.
in other news, my computer is broken again i'm annoyed but not especially distraught about this. i managed to get it up and running long enough to move all important files to an external harddrive before the computer crashed again and had to be completely formatted. it's not back to normal yet. tim is booked for friday to fix it (and then maybe drive my jeep around as repayment.:)
uh oh. the new guy found something to do. maybe i'll go find a broom and pretend to sweep for a while...
