Today is the 2nd day of 3days working 10h, plus 4 for commuting. I'm shattered. On top of that, on Sunday night (Monday? 3am) I couldn't sleep as I thought there was a pipe broken on the flat and I had to check everywhere. And yesterday night I had a lot of weird dreams, very confussing and stressing. And Darth was there offering to teach me how to smoke marihuana to help me relax...
I hope I won't fall asleep on my desk.
So, did you have a good night? Are you expecting a exciting day for today?
Ah, and for those of you who care, my cousin dumped her (not his, sorry I had it wrong) boyfriend on Sat.
EDIT: I just got this and thought it could make your day happier : quotable-beck.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/04AUS-30201-Wombat-large.jpg

Well, kind of. I take the train and then cycle, that's why it takes so long.
You could invite people in so you don't need to have a quiet night. Although I would love one of those. These days I only have time to have dinner (tea), prepare food and clothes for the next day, showner, quick chat with Mark, and go to bed. I want my life back.

Part of the dream yesterday was about it. But it was wrong. I was getting married to the wrong guy and he was so happy that I didn't know how to tell him. And the guy I really wanted to marry was waiting for me to dump this other guy so we could marry. And 3 of my friends were getting married too and were very excited about sharing tips and tricks and meeting to talk about the wedding and I only wanted to cry all the time.

The best was when Darth appear (I know it was him, although I've never met him) and took me away to a beach, hided behind a little hill and gave me to smoke. I don't like marihuana, but it felt so good.

when she broke up with him? Maybe she should have threatened to do it earlier and he might have woken up to himself. Sounds like more of a psychological problem than a physical one.

He'd been on a funeral the day my boss told me he was sending the expert, so he didn't know a word when he came back on Friday. First thing in the morning, as soon as he (Derek) finds out about this expert, he comes to me, asking what I think about it, and if the expert comes what am I going to do, and what is he going to try that I haven't done already, and our bosses know nothing, they're 30miles from the work, never talked to the client and all that. I was speechless.
He then called my boss and told him all that, and that he wasn't going to accept anyone else, as I was doing a good job and what would I do otherwise.
I want to be like him. You can feel the power of "I don't need your money, I'm doing it because I enjoy it"
