(copy from journal - temp job, tired, camera cable failure)
Temp Week
I'm covering for vacation all this week at the temp job. I didn't sleep at all last night and was miserably sick to my stomach this morning as a result. Went in for the 4.5 hour afternoon half of the day. The plan tomorrow (and as much of the rest of the week as possible) is to do my "full time" schedule which means getting in between 10 and 10:30am. Gives me between six and six-and-a-half hour day instead. As always though, my health likes to change the best-laid plans. It's ok, they're more than accommodating for my schedule, understanding there are reasons I may be later some days.
Anyway, didn't get a chance to post earlier so I just thought I would quickly now. I'm heading to bed when this is done. It's amazing how much more tired I am when I'm on a schedule and how much shorter my time seems too. It feels like no sooner do I get home that it's time for bed. Sucks.
Oh and speaking of suckage, my damned camera usb cable crapped out again. I tried to upload my pics and not only did it not work, but it froze my pc. Twice. Long-time readers may recall that the cable already failed once. Back in April 2005. I'm on my second one as it is and now...this one's dead too. Sigh. To add insult to injury, the Nikon website doesn't even sell it any longer. It's only with thanks to my journal archive that I can identify the proper cable. (Because, you know, putting the part number on the cable itself would be just too helpful.) Apparently I can still pick one up from amazon for $14.04 Of course, I don't have fourteen bucks at the moment, so I'm stuck unable to get the images off my camera. Total bum.
Anyway, it's time for some sleep. Man, I need it. Zzzz...
