Aloha! at 8.33 a.m. from the balcony of my appartment. I am in my sunchair, as I couldn’t the hell sleep in again… I am totally incapable of it, even though my body severely crashed and burned last night. So I dragged my ass to the balcony for the morning hours that there’s still sun out here and temps at this wind-still part of my world are still bearable.
It’s a bank holiday in Dutchyland today. And now, don’t go asking me “how many bank holidays does that country of yours in the hell have?!”. We really don’t have that many, it’s just that we have a few fairly consecutive ones in this time of year due to Easter and such. And truth be told: weeks like this fuck me the hell up. There’s less time in the office -which in itself isn’t necessarily a bad thing- but it fucks with my schedules, with still having to finish the same workload in shorter weeks… and well, it’s just fucking with my daily rythm… Don’t get me wrong, I am not complaining about having a day off here and there… I am just really bad at this time of year with those weeks that loose all their rythm and consistency… at least that is what it feels like to me… I am a creature of habit and regularity, I learn that about myself more and more…
And the fun is not done yet: this is a shorter week due to Bank holiday today, and next week I will only be in the office for 2.5 days as…. on Thursdaymorning June 11 my arse will be on a plane to ConFab, Baby!!! Now if thát is not going to fuck with my regularity, rythm and biological clock, I don’t know what is: travelling, jetlag, long days, short nights, booze, avoiding the karaoke stage, and loads and loads of friends! Oh well, that will be worth every second of coming home on Monday June 15 totally fucked up, right? Oh, and did I tell you the day after I come back is the annual day out of the department? And that I am in the committee organizing the event? Yah… like that…
Anyway: there will be some working from home today I think, and some R&R as my body is not cooperating with me (now that it is being switched from one asthmatic bronchitis med to another), soaking up some rays of sun and hopefully later today working through that bitch of a skyrocketing feed reader. Or I may not… and just click “mark all as read”.. jury is still out on that…I might be more tempted to sleep off a bit of the bronchitis hickups and feverish bouts…
Hope you all have a great day! I know it’s Monday, but I will be thinking of you all, I promise, and send good vibes to get you thru the day! Trust me! I am good like that.

P.S. just one question for the day tho… HOW THE HELL DID IT BECOME JUNE!? I mean, sheesh! I blink my eyes for just a few secs and wham! It was February just a few weeks ago, wasn’t it?

I vote for “Mark all as read.” Sometimes you just have to give up the ship, not matter how much you love your friends.

I hate having to squeeze five days of work into four, but I guess it’s worth it for the day off.
And I had to “Mark as Read” the other day. It really helped.

JUNE?!? Based on the temps down here in Georgia, I just figured it was August! Guh.
And I’m with you on those short vacation weeks. Suckage trying to get one’s internal clock back on track.
