Coming off a nightshift. It’s after 3am. Insomnia. Polka dot pants and a bright red Kansas City Chief t-shirt. Trying to break out of a bad funk with some of the good kind. I want some coffee. But its too late. I still don’t know if I’m graduating in 28 days or not. blah blah blah.
Caffeine withdrawal headache. A dull little ache that starts at the back of my eye, travels an inch back and extends two more inches upwards. A neural triangle of annoyance. Insomnia. Insomnia. No sleeping pill tonight cause at 7am I have to walk to work for an all-staff meeting. One of the guards is unhappy with the new schedule. I think he might have a proposal that cuts my hours since it’s no secret I’m leaving in a couple months. Maybe I’ll just have a mega huge coffee before bed. The old caffeine nap trick. That’ll solve my headache and as a bonus, the caffeine and lack of sleep will ensure I’ll be easily agitated for the meeting. “I’m out of order? NO, YOU’RE OUT OF ORDER!” I hope we’re all around a table, so I can bang it with my fist for emphasis.
A trillion things to do and be done to me tomorrow. I’m off this week-end. (That sounds way more exciting than reality.)

KS Chiefs. Eck. Not good. The Denver Broncos are just so much cooler. Table-banging is catharitic. Everyone should do more of it. The world would be a better place. I miss caffeine…

So burn the thing. Or give it to a needy homeless person who doesn’t mind showing blatant but insincere support for a sports team.

I like the site. I see we share initials. J J. Also, way to go on the “play, stop, pause” option for your site media player. I HATE going to a website where some obnoxious song is blaring over the speakers and theres nothing you can do but leave the page. If I wanted to hear your dumb song…!!!!!. Not YOUR dumb song, but A dumb song…nevermind. Again, nice site.
