just about asleep

Tried to get to bed early but stupidly had got a coffee on my drive home from Dad's (needing directions to a Shaw's I stopped at a Starbuck's) and ended up unable to get to sleep until 9ish. Two in the ack emma rising for a four AM start at work. I thought it would be completely useless, but the overnighters were flatteringly grateful to see me, which makes me feel better about the whole thing. So, got out at 12:30, went for a hike at Bradbury mountain with Eor and Hawk, and then Eor and I went for a 'date' at Buck's Naked Barbecue. I didn't have a drink there, but when I got home, full of pulled pork, coleslaw and baked potato, I had a hot chocolate with rum and very nearly passed out. I've determined to attempt to listen to The Mauritius Command (BBC Radio 4, available until 4:02PM Sun, 10 Apr 2011 - so I've got to listen before then.) I wish I could save it to listen to on the drive to work, but I don't think it's possible.

( cut for family stuff )

Oh well, my radio play is over, time to brush my teeth and get to bed.

Wait, I just realized I didn't do the good news/bad news from work. Bad news - working at 4am on Sundays and Wednesdays to help out overnight people with getting ready for testing. Good news - The Skipper and I have a cube to work from! Bad news - the cube has only one computer in it, and the ten people who have been evicted from using that one computer are kind of pissed that now they are now sharing one computer with ten MORE people in the next cube over. The good news... um. After an hour or so of work between me and the helpdesk I think I have a working mouse and email. (I can't imagine how ten people could stand to use a computer where the mouse stops working every five minutes and you have to reboot the damned thing!)
