Who's the Slowest of the Seven?

First day of my two week break that I’ve given myself. Yes, the post time is early. None of my housemates are awake yet. I’ve already had breakfast. My belief is, what’s the point of doing nothing if you’re not conscious to savor the inactivity?

Not surprisingly, that Flash animation of the Dr. Wily Show! has exceeded it’s bandwidth. Shame. But it’s incredible how viral information is. Last night, I was laughing my ass off about Iceman’s comments on Dr. Wily.

“He. . . Hits me. . . A lot.”

I know it’s not supposed to be funny, but it is. It’s up there with Penny Arcade’s similar, domestic violence oriented,

“Baby–why you always make me gotta hit you?”

And with that, I do believe I’ll start by making my bed and cleaning up the room. I can’t see sixty percent of the floor. Unacceptable. It’s not really sloth, I know.

Funny, funny stuff. Okay, you have to be somewhat familar with the Mega Man series from Capcom. Just for those of you not in the know, Dr. Wily is the antagonist of the series. What follows is a series of interviews with his robot bosses and henchmen. Funny on so many levels. No, really. Just click the link already.

The Dr. Wily Show!

Wait, What Time Is It?

Two o’clock in the afternoon? My goodness, I’ve not slept this long in quite a while. I’m a bit confused, considering that it’s really bright outside. I’ve been waking up in complete darkness for too long. This two week break will be nice.

On the schedule for today:

Get food into stomach at some point. Maybe groceries.

Sleep? What's that?

No clocks. No windows. Without indicators of the passage of time, hours fly by like so many trees through a train window.

Now I’m dead tired. I might as well catch some sleep.

The Importance of Having Comp Time

6 AM
I arrive at work.

9 AM
Supervisor arrives. Checks some records.
“Uh, we owe you some comp time.”
“How much?”
“Go home. Now.”
“Okay!”

One Hard Drive Format Later. . .
Goodbye everyone!
