caffeine rescued me

i was wasted this morning. i woke up to discover we'd had a power outage, and further that spot keeps his aircon on all night. americans seem to think that conservation is something that happens to other people. it's not too difficult to run a fan, mine works just fine :/

i slept on the shuttle, and as is usual when i do practically fell out, dazed and unhappy, next to my building. i slept the first 45 minutes, until nystire rescued me with the call of caffeine.

once that was out of the way, the day improved dramatically:
a) it's now forbidden for me to shave for at least the next six months.
no - wait. let me rephrase that. i don't need to shave for the next two years.
b) i thoroughly enjoyed the work today. i was called in by both my commanders to discuss my future, and i've been given some more responsibility.
c) i got a flat-screen today, and it works.

nystire and i missioned to buy a kettle for our section after lunch, and we set up a nice little corner in our offices. the only problem is that the kettle leaks. i hope he didn't toss the guarantee.

i finally got the pictures i needed for my mum's birthday :D
i've now not only mashed them up and scrawled an "i (heart) my mum" on them, but i've prepped the mail so that on the day i just need to click send. and pray that i have internet access.

i'm soon off to the beach with vision, this was an OC posting :P
