what's a morning?

i can't believe that i dragged myself out of bed - the most comfortable, deepest sleep i've enjoyed in a while - to blade (exhausted) to work, and arrive to discover that i didn't need to get in until the late afternoon.

not cool.

i stayed a couple of hours (i'd already payed the price) to get some other work done, then returned to the pharmacy near my apartment to pick up my b12 supplements. the security guard wouldn't let me in on my wheels, so i sat on the seat next to him to switch to sandals.

the last thing i expected was the security chief rushing at me, shouting at me to get off the chair. when i let him know he was being an asshole, he tried to make me understand that his job was on the line - he'd be fired if i didn't get off.

yeah, right.

and complaining about me sweating on his seat had to do with feeding his family.
*mood goes cloudy*

i waited in line at the counter for about ten minutes, only to discover that i needed to go to my medical aid's pharmacy to fill out my prescription. neat :(

i took my copy of wired to cafesito, and had myself a roast-beef sandwich breakfast, then started milling towards the pharmacy... i walked about three blocks before realizing that i was far too tired and it would take me far too long to get there and back on foot, so i returned home to crash for an hour.

sleep of the dead. it felt goooood.

again with the difficulty getting up, and i bladed to the clinic - running into my commander from the officer's completion course. we didn't have too much to say to each other. the wait for my meds was killer, but i was feeling a bit brighter once i left and i sped home to pick up my bags and continued straight on to work.

...

everyone's had a good laugh at my morning's mistake. one of the managers: "i always wondered why it was called morning procedure. you guys really used to do it in the mornings?"
yes. yes we did :S

...

it's been a hard day's night. i've been really tired, but i'm saving the coffee hit for later when we have a potential crisis on our hands. the work's been fun, but there's been lots of it. some moments have been better than others.

i need food. i don't know if i'm more tired or more hungry.

quote of the day (from the video description at the bottom): "Host Ruud Kleinpaste explains why water is more important than food when battling dehydration"...

oh.

toast *isn't* the most important thing to consume when dehydrated?! i'm shocked.
