Tonight was a VERY wierd night. Work was even more insane than usually with a backlog of calls from everywhere. Much busier than I remember it being in a long time.

However what was REALLY wierd was the "Battery Situation." I was in such a rush to get to work, that I forgot my Power Cable for my Laptop (along with everything else). So I figure "Oh, well, I got a full charge on my battery." IT should have lasted 2 hours. When I got it out of the truck 15 minutes later, the battery (whch was only in standby) was dead.

No problem, I have a radio with brand new batteries! Turn it on...and it's drained in about 15 minutes. So I decide to check out the flashlight batteries in my truck. The flashlight is hardly ever used, it's batteries should be pretty fresh. I turned on the light to check out the strength...and the light went brown almost imediately.

I was just thinking to myself about how it's strange that all those devices would brown out so quick, while I was gluing my Enterprise model together (it's snap-together, and some of the seams just didn't snap close enough), and I turn on the lights on the model...only to see the lights visibly brown out.....

So, who let off an EMP over my house?!

Every morning, in order to wash the makeup off my face, I take a ful shower. Why would I do that?

I do not understand the mechanics of washing your face in the sink.

Maybe I was raised all wrong, but I just don't nkow HOW it needs to be done. Now usually, I just put water in my hands, splash it on my face, add soap, and then repeat.

What I usually end up with is a slightly moist face, a drenched chest and stomach, and burning eyes 'cause the soap never washed off. I've tried for YEARS to figure this out, and never have.

Eventually, I just gave up, and jumped in the shower to wash my face. If I'm gonna get soaked, at least I can get soaked in a place I know I won't mind it.

Dammit, I can't sleep.

Survival Fund: $250.

It's no longer cooch cash, because with the news of several friends having layoffs, some disturbing "accidentally emailed to everyone" EMails, Fucked Company saying over the past few weeks that "Tech is fucked," and the news that the stock market tumbled today, I'm gearing up for another long dry spell.

If I can get SRS, I will...but it's looking more and more like this will be rent for 2006.
