Tired and cranky
On the third week of a long project rush at work, and I am dead tired.
Building this huge Frankenstein monster consisting of ill-fitting pieces of PHP, Perl, Javascript and ActiveX. Working weekends. Working nights.
‘course, I’m not getting paid anything extra for the extra hours. Which is a good excuse to use everytime I collapse asleep in front of the computer and fail to answer my cellphone.
Aside from work, nothing much is happening. Hauled myself out to Borders to get some more books for my weekly commute. Pratchett’s Going Postal. A hardbound Dune, on sale.
Playing a little World of Warcraft whenever I can get a breather from work. Somehow I got a preview key for Dungeons & Dragons Online, which lets me play in the beta for three days this weekend. After a couple of nights, it hasn’t grown on me yet. Maybe it’s too arcadey for me… all that jumping around platforms and pulling levers isn’t my cup of tea.
I like my thinky games. Which is why I’m thinking of taking a break from WOW next month (subscription is up on the tenth) and getting Civ IV. Maybe. Knowing the last three Civ games, I may not come up for air for a few weeks. Months. Whatever.
Still. Too much work, and too much play, and nothing left for the stuff in between. Like sleep.
Or dreams.
