After a night of strange dreams where I was discussing the pros and cons of public transportation with a blue alien plant in my backyard, I awoke to find myself feeling ill. So, if you don’t mind I think I’ll keep this post short and stuffy.
In the meantime, let me just put this right here:
The jobs I would least like to have:

…and whatever it is that this guy does:

No sir…count me out. I’ve seen enough Val Lewton movies to know that this is not the career path I’d choose…

Happy Friday. Seeing as how I have Monday off from work, I’ll see y’all back here on Tuesday. Hope you have a safe and sane 4th!
Wow. Color me impressed.
I just upgraded from WordPress 2.8 to the just-released 3.0 “Thelonious”. With an improved menu system, improved bulk updating, custom menu management, a slick interface and snazzy new themes, I’m quite impressed with this new incarnation of WordPress.
Sure…I’m not quite as excited as this:
…but you get the general idea.

Let’s hear it for that great equalizer…insomnia!
I haven’t been sleeping well these past few nights. Whatever the reason, I just can’t fall asleep. I’ll toss and turn, eyeballing the red glowing clock through razor slits for eyes as it ticks past 1am…2am…3am. And just when I’m about to pass out, right when I can feel the world begin to melt away in a warm, slow tumble, I catch myself and wake right up.
Morning arrives quickly, the day goes by far too slowly, and before I know it it’s time to start the whole ritual all over again.
This video is an excellent example of how I’ve been feeling these past few days:
I think the root cause stems from work. I’ve had one day off these past two weeks, and half of that time was spent “on call”. I haven’t had time to go on a run or hit the gym. I believe my body is revolting on me, silently urging me to find time to hit the trails and throw some iron around.
I think I might have Karin pick up Tyler from the sitter tomorrow so I can hit up Iron Mountain after work. A bit of physical abuse is just what I need to get me right…
