SAAD is here once again I would like pizza and/or cake. For my current employers and cow-orkers this is their last chance to not forget me and they should be more wary of forgetting again this year for now we are two.
[ Update ]
The new sys. admin., who started last week and who will ultimately replace me, bought a chocolate cake (which the caker, (cakier? cake dresser?) tried to write “Sysadmin” on in chocolate fondant but didn’t get it quite right), my boss bought ice cream and whipped cream. Victory!
I like my women like I like my oxidants, free and radical.

The Nintendo DS is the only thing I’ve ever queued up for on launch day. It was a damp dull morning and I got up early before work. Felt a bit of a tool standing there on Dawson St. with commuters going past in buses looking at us. It wasn’t so bad though as I met someone I knew in the queue and I was in front of him! Man, he must have been so boned. Wait, that has connotations. “Bummed?” That’s not a good one either. “I’ll bet he didn’t give a shit.” That’s better.
As mentioned before, I’m not sleeping right. Well, actually, I think I’m getting enough sleep but not at the right times. I can’t find myself falling to sleep before 2am and as a consequence it is rare that I get to work before 10am.
The problems are two-fold I guess. I don’t get to bed early enough and when I do, I can’t sleep. Oh, and now I’m a daily coffee drinker. That’s got to be related.
I’d like to take some of this guy’s advice especially in light of this discovery.
