SLOW RIDE.

February 22nd, 2016

Once again, 'stolen' from WikiEatsTheInternetIa.

On this, the twenty second of February, I take after the noble snail, for I am slow.

I am slow because I got very little sleep last night. This was mostly my own fault, as is often the case, for I was up all night doing things that I hadn't had time to do until, oh, ten o'clock on Sunday. A lot of this involved me polishing up the last couple of rambles here, and the rest finishing the proofreading of a book one of my nerd peers is working on possibly as you read this.

Unless you're reading this long after this post went live. Then, uh, never mind.

I'm not out of gas, as I tend to find myself under such conditions, so much as moving at a lesser speed than usual. Which is probably bothering my boss a lot, what with her being told by her boss, and him being told by his, to make us ship our latest unit out. But since Strokerman has taken about a week longer than he ought to have to finish his one subassembly? Well, it ain't happening.

I suppose I'm not the only one moving at the speed of slow, you see, so there's that.

Of course, I'm stuck working a twelve and a half hour shift today, what with me probably not bothering to come into work Wednesday, so I'm still getting a lot done. At least, in a relative sense. If I stay until seven, I'll at least not be out any money due to my staying home the day after my dentist drills a hole in the side of my skull, which he sounds like he's about to do after work tomorrow.

Allow me to assure you that I'm not looking forward to that, either. No sir.
