But, I was hoping to be done by now…

Well, here I sit at my computer desk STARTING on my work “this evening” (overtime) that I was hoping to be done by now… It 12:50 AM here and I’m just waking up after having fallen asleep on Little “L’s” bedroom floor… after struggling to get him to bed… after only having gotten one hour of sleep the night/morning before…

Note to first-time parents of babies or young toddlers:
Your child WILL someday become aware of the fact that you really want them to become potty-trained and WILL someday use this to thier advantage to stay awake waaaaaay longer than they ought to. This MIGHT seem cute for a while but WILL invariably/eventually wear on you…

Ugh…

Now I have to start working on something that has to be done for tomorrow/today…

Double ugh… with fries… burnt ones…

And one hellish project comes to an end…

This is just a short post to let anyone who has been semi-following my comlaining about this wank of a project, that today, the entire thing came to a close… and on a positive note. I wasn’t able to see the final display’s before they were shipped off but a co-worker/manager, whose opinion I trust, said they look great. And they will get to the client on time.

…relief.

I have accumulated almost five full days of time off. Some of it I will use to sleep the rest I shall use to do Parkour. :OD

There is more to say but I am very tired now… I was sent home a few days ago for “resting with my eyes closed” at my desk — nothing bad, everyone knew that I had just burned myself out…

Alas, it is done.
Final curtain please.
Good night all…
And sweet dreams.

All-nighter number four update…

[UPDATE]

Well, I decided I should wait until the day after to update this post so that I might get as much work done overnight as possible…

So, at roughly 4:30 PM yesterday, I went home to take care of my husband & dad duties. I made my way back to work after I put ’lil “L” to bed and got here at approximately 10:00 PM.

At almost 11:00 PM one of my co-workers called to let me know how much he had gotten done on my project while I was at home. He offered to come and help me with the rest.

Over seven hours, three cafeinated beverages and one burrito later, we were both so tired that we had to call it quits at 5:15 AM this morning.

I went home, showered, shaved, ate breakfast, got ’lil “L” ready for daycare and put out the trash.

And so the day began again continues… everything has to be done today so now I’m stressin’ some but also relieved that I’ll be done my part v’soon.

All-nighter number three…

Just like the title says…

I managed to stay the whole night last night and left at 6:30 AM… it’s beautiful that time of day. Luckily I wasn’t too tired for the drive home as my third Sobe Arush caffeinated “natural health” energy drink hadn’t left my system yet.

Tonight I start with a French Vanilla coffee with a Sobe-backup. That being said I don’t plan on being here at work all night… I hope to get a chunk done that I actually need to be here for, after-which I can the files home to work on. This way, once I reach the ever-popular point-of-no-return all I have to do is stumble up the stairs to bed instead of having to re-caffeinate for the drive.

Fun stuff.
