so. . . very. . . tired

I did get a regular amount of sleep last night but I'm still beat tonight.

Of course, I was up late fiddling around at home on Tuesday and Monday.

Visited my parents this weekend. My mother's just bought $3,000 of purebred puppies - two little white westies.
Good news this weekend is the new medication my father has started has restored his appetite, to the delight of my mother.

Blogger... has changed since I was last here.
I need to keep up with things a bit better.

It's late and I'm wondering why I'm having such a difficult time putting myself to bed tonight. Could be the heat - not unbearable but a bit moistening in my little place. I refuse to crank up the AC after spending most of my days freezing in the pre-press area, the coldest part of the building where I work. A small inconvenience, but I enjoy the feel of a hot car at the end of the day when I finally get to thaw out. Still, I really enjoy working there and feel there is a lot of potential for me with this company.

The new term for those full-time, long-term employed is now "Perma-Temps" according to NPR and MicroSoft. Gone are the days apparently of anyone below management level being anything other than an independent contractor. And when I look around me at the people I know and their positions as well as my own, I know this is true. I tried to relate this story to Monster but he (who is self-employed in his own business and doesn't need a job anyway) was refusing to accept the new reality of the workplace.

Ripe is this weekend. Not cheap and I need to buy my ticket in advance. It'll be worth it though - last year was great fun and I think this year may be even better.

Today I hung out with Monster after work. Went to Express and had a delicious spinach salad. Afterwards we spent to much time in the bookstore behind the restaurant. Was happy to see many Farscape titles, though not the episodes that would be the logical next addition to what I already have.

Tomorrow I get my hair cut, car washed, coffee beans, and hopefully laundry done.

Now I must sleep. Tired enough to be scatter-brained.

Good Sushi

Tonight is a good night for sushi at Ru San's in Midtown. The eel was especially tender and fresh and I ordered the tamaki & sushi special that was more than I could eat for less than nine dollars.
