(no subject)
It's been a long while since I've posted, so I figured, why not now.
I should be studying right now. I have a midterm in two and a half hours.
It's been a very tiring last few weeks. I've pulled a total of three all nighters within the span of 9 days or so. Not to mention the most sleep I get a night is about six or seven. Eight is the recommended amount for a full night's sleep. Oh well, I guess you might say that's the life of a University student.
I notice things more when I'm really tired. It feels almost as if I'm watch a TV show. Sort of like I'm in a comfortable spot, in a dark room, watching a TV show. Except that I can't turn the show off and go to bed. It's weird, when I'm tired, I'm comfortable practically anywhere, even while walking. And I'm unable to do things as quickly as if I'm not so tired, so I don't spend as much energy and consequently it doesn't feel like it's as much work as usual. Walking, for example. When I'm really tired, it almost feels like I'm floating.
Heh, another weird thing - I've woken up very confused. It's a sure sign that you've been doing too much homework when you wake up in the morning, and try to figure out how to implement the function of waking up. As in, program it. Deanne said once, in the recent past, she was trying to wake me up and I told her, in my sleep, that I have to analyze question 13. She said something to the effect of, "What's question 13?" And I just went back to sleep.
It's not the first time my mind's done stuff like that to me. There's been more than one occasion where I've gotten life mixed up with programming (obviously when I'm lacking sleep). What's that a sign of?
I got into a bit of a dispute with Deanne this morning. She took a lead hand position at her new job at LPC. I told her not to. I've been saying not to for a number of weeks, nay, months. We even made an agreement to eachother that if either one of us was asked, we'd say no. There are many reasons for this:
Am I wrong for being safe about this? Sure, the extra $2/hr is nice, but is it worth sacrificing job security? One screwup and you could be on-call. You can't find somebody to cover a shift, you're going in. Somebody screws up while you're working? You get the blame. I, personally, don't trust other people's work. I mean, ok, let me rephrase: I am willing to take responsibility for my actions but not for the action of my peers. I'm more than happy being told I did something wrong, but I don't like being told that it's my fault that John Doe messed up. Bugger off and tell John that, then. Supervisor positions are not on my list of things I like.
Anyway...
Deanne bought me Pokemon XD: Gales of Darkness and Mario Golf for the Gamecube *grins*
I've only played a bit of Mario Golf, but a lot of Pokemon. I'm not ashamed, I thoroughly enjoy the game. I have a couple beefs about some of the aspects of the game, but overall, I can't help but like it! I won't go into details because, I know most people don't really care what level my Espeon is.
I'd like to write more, but I think I should maybe study a little bit for my midterm. I don't think I'll actually absorb any of it, but who knows, the three questions I do might all help me for the midterm. I might post when I'm done the exam. I'll leave you with a quote from the song I'm listening to:
You are going to rock 'n roll
And you can hardly wait for the music to begin.
When it happens, you will become a part of that music.
You are there.
You are going on a musical trip.
The highest, happiest trip you've ever been on.
Enjoy it, and get into it.
Loosen your seatbelts,
Let's rock 'n roll.
P.S. Why my mood is relieved? Deanne's Livejournal. I don't know for sure if it's something she is willing to share on an on-line journal, so if she chooses to, she'll say it.

We even made an agreement to eachother that if either one of us was asked, we'd say no. There are many reasons for this:
- warnings by several Lorco employee's (who have been there a long time) that it's a mistake
- the fact that they've gone through a number of lead hands and they always seem to be looking for more
- lead hands have told me in the past that the extra $2 is not worth it
- there's a lot more expected from a lead hand and that can interfere with non-work life (ie school, social)
- the memory of Deanne accepting the supervisor position at Harvey's and the result of said acceptance
- the bi-polar like attitude Deanne has had towards LCP the past week (she hates it, she loves it, she likes it, she hates it, she loves it, dah!)
- the responsibility will get greater as time goes on. One of the boss's points for Deanne being a lead hand was that she knows a majority of the sorts - why would this be a factor if Deanne's responsibility is to only stay at LCP?
