What Is This Sleep Thing I Keep Hearing About?
April 30th, 2009
I am tired, so very tired, yet I still can’t seem to get to bed at a decent hour. I don’t know why. It’s not like I am playing my game until really late. I have actually been unplugging a little and watching some movies again. Which is a good thing since I am still paying for my Blockbuster subscription. LOL.
Work has been hectic, yet not hectic lately. I mean we really aren’t as busy as we were last year, but there are still a lot of things to do. I thought we were going to have enough staff to fully cover everything this year, but I was sadly mistaken. 99% of the office is part time. Which is kind of good in a way since it kind of limits all of the things that my boss can have us do. But, I know that it also really stresses out seasonal people out since we are in crunchtime and someone has to be there to cover these things and my immediate supervisor doesn’t want me to get that involved with that work for some reason. I don’t know. I will still try to help out wherever I can though.
One reason why aren’t as busy too is because there simply isn’t enough money to go around. Which also makes me wonder about the efficacy of some of these programs that people are fighting for funding for. I wonder if anyone has ever really done a study to see if funding these programs does give us more benefit for the dollar rather than sending the funding to some other program that is more consolidated. But then I suppose you run into the issue of favoritism and funding not being distributed “fairly” or something. It’s quite an interesting dance.
Man, that does make me seem so pessimistic though. I don’t know. My views on politics have definitely changed over the years, I don’t know if for the better. But I do try to take a more rounded point of view now, I think.
I really should be sleeping though. We have one major deadline today, which shouldn’t be an issue at all, but Friday. Oh Friday – that is going to be the mega long day where we most likely will be there until midnight. It should be interesting though. There was kind of a party atmosphere last year. I really didn’t have anything to do most of that night except to run to pick up reports when they were available and I am not sure if that is going to be much of an issue this year or if it is going to be worse simply because the funds aren’t there.
Then there is the swine flu. That has me worried too. Here is a swine flu tracker via Google maps. It’s kind of disturbing watching all of the little flags pop up everyday. I really should get to Costco and pick up some provisions just in case though. If anything, it would be like an early hurricane provision supply stock.
Anyways, I think I shall try to sleep now.
