Can I stay home tomorrow?

Okay. That episode was completely retarded. I'd watch it again, but I've wasted time playing Meteos and think I shouldn't. The quality of my sleep last night was horrible, and Joan won't take another day off tomorrow just because I want her to. She needs to, though. Like, really. Take a week, stay off her feet, start thinking of retirement... She can't do that yet, she blew through a lot of her time because of the whole broken ankle thing.

Meh. Can't stay home anyway. Have things to do at work, including the processing of one $2mil+ check I'd like just a portion of. Just a smidge. Lil' bit.

Was talking with Tas about the Investigator exam. I know I've got at least one answer wrong; I remember the answer I put, and Tas said it's different because of something that was actually in the reading passage, so oops. But I at least know I got the logic puzzle right. No answer key or anything yet, of course, but I know for certain I got it. ( Babbling about the question... )

Kinda wish there were more logic things on the test. Should look for some books or something. Sudoku's fun and all, but maybe something not involving numbers so much... never was one for numbers.

I don't want to sleep tonight. Not sure what it is, I just don't want to, even if I do need it.

Oh, I know I didn't say... but thanks for the comments.

When I was at Nintendo World with the boys, I saw that they had those rubber wristbands--three of them. Yellow, Courage; black, Power; and white, Wisdom. I snatched all three up, of course, me being a Zelda nerd. Immediately gave Craig Power, and next time I see Matt, I might give him Courage. But Wisdom is mine--I've been wearing it since. I suppose I'm hoping it'll actually give me some wisdom one of these days. I still have a lot of growing to do.

( Cut again for more babbling. )

*sigh*

Right, so, work tomorrow. Lots of cleaning up to do thanks to one Stuart and possibly one Paul, who decided to chuck a bunch of cases into the garbage bin while switching desks. Seeing as Stuart's with the IRS now, I don't think we'll ever find out who actually threw the cases out. It's the word of someone you really can't tell is joking or not against the word of someone who's not even around anymore... which isn't word at all.

Whatever. We have to clean up the mess, though, Tas and I. We'll have to find out if our office should keep the cases or get rid of them... and what's worse, there may have been more cases where they came from and we won't even know it. It's good we found the ones we did--we'd be tearing our hair out looking for them--but if there are more and they were gotten rid of separately, and are gone, then there's big trouble.

No rest for Tas and I. Those people really don't care about our side of the job. They don't get that we're responsible for those cases. We can point the finger at them, and them at us, but overall our section of the office is responsible. Everything better be in there. I'm not getting in trouble because one of those two was an idiot.

All this found out because Tas decided to look in Stuart's old drawers to see if Jin's missing evaluation was in them. Seems something told her to look in the dumpster. She only realized what was in the dumpster because she saw a case number on something belonging to a case that's still open. And he never did give her the evaluation back, so... I don't know what she does with that. I imagine she'll have to make up a new one, and it just won't have his signature on it. It's supposed to, since Jin was on his team, but it's a moot point now.

Almost got to go to Disney World. Almost. Turns out the week we'd go would be the week of August 20th, and Tas is gonna be out that week. So, still have vacation in two weeks. Not sure I really wanted to wait two months, anyway. Sure, it gets me far away from here, but I'll take two weeks over two months anytime. We'll go someplace else. Even if it ends up being someplace familiar, we'll be getting away, and that's what matters to me. No job for a week. Always a good thing. Can't tell you how many times I've wished there'd be another Blackout of '03. Completely selfish of me, but it's not every day you get a free day off in my job. Well, anywhere, really. The power going out was great. There was actually power in MetroTech Center, probably around that whole area, but Pataki didn't have to know that.

I think I'm not gonna eat lunch for a while. That's what I've been doing--getting something to drink in the morning and skipping lunch, then eating when I get home. I just haven't felt hungry when I should. I almost didn't eat today when I get home.

I think I turn all introspective at night. 's why I need to go to bed. Also why I don't.
