According to the
wikipedia
Insomnia is a symptom of a sleeping disorder characterized by persistent difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep despite the opportunity. It is typically followed by functional impairment while awake. Insomniacs have been known to complain about being unable to close their eyes or “rest their mind” for more than a few minutes at a time. Both organic and non-organic insomnia constitute a sleep disorder.
Eventually I’ll get hit with the stay-awake hammer, and I must say, it is a horrible thing. I am completely oblivious, and I am dead tired.
It’s like my brain has no RAM or swap to work with.
Last year that happened to me (I had several other problems to make this even worse), and I ended up taking some time off and/or working from home for quite some time… And I really didn’t want for that to start happening again. But lately I’ve been sleeping less every single day, specially with this dry weather and me coughing all the time.
And having the experience of how that looks to your co-workers, it is starting to really bother me again. I should probably tell them about this before it sounds like a weak excuse.
stupid sleep… or lack of it…

Today is a day that would make me believe in god, a god that hates me. Everything was going great, I woke up on time (what usually doesn’t happen), I made myself a salad (what I usually don’t do), I left early to work (something I usually can’t do), and I realized my car was low on gas, but the light was still off. So, I decided to play safe (what I usually don’t do either) and head to a gas station.
But my car decided that it didn’t have enough gas two blocks away from the gas station. -Lucky me
Anyone that meets me regularly, knows that I am definitely not in the best shape of my life, so pushing my car for 2 blocks by myself == woot, so I walked there and got one of those little disposables bags of gas. No harm done, now I have enough gas to get to the gas station.
Well, that happens, right? So I get to the gas station, to fill my car’s tank and all… and I go inside to buy some juice (to have with my salad!) and the guy that works there pokes me and say: – hey, your car key is broken. All that I could think at that moment was “WTF?!” -No, it’s not..
And he showed me the key. OMG! Apparently the key broke when he was trying to open the gas tank. Kudos for that guy. Well, at least they were nice enough to drive me back home to get a spare key. But alas, the spare key can’t open the tank lid, because there is half a key in there.
So yeah, I went back home with 1 gallon of gas, got the other car, and got to work, 1 hour later.
AMAZING.

I love being late sooo much that I’ve decided to talk about the idiotic reasons that contribute to that. Hence the new section/area being late in the menu.
Well, I have a few stories to talk about, but let’s start with today.
I woke up late, because my stupid mobile is half-broken, like a depressive girl (it stops serving it’s purpose with basic mood swings). But nothing new about that, I usually wake up later than I should and I still manage to get to work fashionably late.
So, I do my thing, get my keys, and —OMFG, not again! Suddenly it strikes me, it’s Thursday, street fair right outside my house, and there is an idiot parking on my driveway. So be it, I walked to the bank to solve some other issues, but while walking back home my freaking pants gave up on me. At least they didn’t rip, I guess. Just a mere button loss, it definitely could be worse.
And yeah, walking home, holding my pants —great day!
Now I look like i was dressed by a color blind person…
PS: some other day I’ll write about the rabbit.
