It's a morning

I have two alarms on my clock radio. One goes off at 6:45, and the second goes off at 7:04. I usually hit snooze on the second alarm until around 7:14, at which point I roll out of bed and get ready for the day. This morning the 6:45 alarm went off, and that was it. No backup alarm. The Scientist woke me up at 7:45, which is 20 minutes before I'm supposed to leave. Craaaaaaaaaaaaap. So I skipped the shower, put on lots of perfume and deoderant, threw on some clothes, and that's that. My hair is flat and greasy, I had to put on makeup at work, and I probably smell odd. On the bright side, I got to work on time, so there you are.

But work today is weird, because I've been yanked off my project to work on a book about creating video games. I was ONE FIGURE away from completing the art for the sheet metal book, but now I'm doing the Gaming workbook, which means I'll be spending all day just setting up a template and trying to figure out what the hell is going on. Good times.

Is this week over yet?

Spamming. Because I can.

I just went into the office of the editor that I'm now working with. On his desk, I noticed a mockup of a test, and in the name blank he's written "Ted Mosby." I asked the editor what that was all about, and he replied that they needed a fake exam for a photograph, so he put in Ted's name. I started to laugh, and he said "At least I didn't write 'Ted Mosby: Sex Architect!'" Bwa ha ha ha! I had no idea this editor is a closet HIMYM fan. So now, somewhere in one of our textbooks will be a reference to Ted Mosby.

My opinion of that editor just increased tenfold.

Ugh. Terrible.

It really is one of those days. I'm sick. And not just the "I have the sniffles" sick, it's one of those "am I going to throw up" kinds of sick. I should have known something was wrong when I could eat my breakfast this morning. Now I'm working through my lunch and breaks, and will be leaving early today. THANK GOD. 3:45 cannot come soon enough. To make matters worse, if I AM sick I can't call off tomorrow. My office has this ridiculous policy that you can't take a sick day in front of or after a holiday or vacation day. Listen, if you issue me X amount of sick time, then I should be allowed to take said sick time whenever the hell I want. WHATEVER.

Less than two hours, less than two hours, less than two hours...
