Did I leave my sleep at your house?
Back to the insomnia again.
After picking up my father and stepmother yesterday there was a discussion in the car about how poorly he has been sleeping. Dad has always been a poor sleeper, and I inherited his curse. For us it is the fact that we can't stop obsessing about work. I do most of my best "work" at 2am. Not this post mind you, but real worky work.
Right now I am struggling with the best way to "program, categorize, or easily reference" the varies sizes, types and quality of wheel bearings. Yes, wheel bearings. Exciting stuff. Hard stuff too, yet only a few weeks ago I was blissfully ignorant of them. 10 weeks ago, before I knew what a wheel bearing was, there were other things occupying my midnight oil.
My immediate underling is working out swimmingly, and my other staff are working with me better than before. I think they know I won't leave them alone now, that I will actually make them make the system work as intended. Work has settled down quite a bit, lowering my stress level.
Shifting gears...We bought a new car! Picked up our 2007 Ford Freestyle on Tuesday. I am not thrilled about the colour, at least the silver won't show the dirt as badly as the plum Civic. It is so nice to not have to cram myself into that tiny little car anymore. I am driving about 20% as much as I used to, so the greater fuel consumption shouldn't be a problem. I am really looking forward to our next road trip to Seattle for the Gaia Consort gig on the 16th of February, and of course to our Vegas trip in April. The Girl bought the old car from me, saving me from the brutal trade value.
I am off to work on the bearing thing, because I don't think anybody wants THAT stream of consciousness.
