Just what I need, something else I can&#8217;t have.<\/p>\n<p>So, I found a way to get myself even more tired at night. First, have one of your co-workers &#8220;throw you under the bus.&#8221; (Like getting asked to find something for a key customer who needs that thing TONIGHT, being told that it will be easy to find, and then having to call various co-worker&#8217;s cell phones until you find something that may or may not be right. An hour-and-a-half of frantic phone calls in fact.) Then, get to the gym late, wanting to kill something. This can make you work harder, and make you much more tired.<\/p>\n<p>I did, however, get another Xmas card today. The other one said, &#8220;If you had a girlfriend you&#8217;d have to so much more creative in your whining. would it be worth the effort?&#8221; I don&#8217;t know. It&#8217;s like my attempt to be a doctor. My friends who made it tell me it&#8217;s awful and I&#8217;d hate it, but how would I know when I never got the chance? Instead, I get to work with multinational corporations who take great pleasure in making all their problems into my problems. Sort of like how I imagine a hospital to be, but with individuals rather than corporate entities.<\/p>\n<p>Well, at least I don&#8217;t have to listen to a lot of coughing if I work from home. I bet doctors don&#8217;t get to work from home much. I can even click on links that say &#8220;NSFW&#8221; and take naps and no one is in line to use the bathroom. Wait &#8217;til the new bathroom is finished. Working from home will be glorious.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the blogs I read is for &#8220;special deals.&#8221; Unfortunately, those special deals are always so popular that as soon as I see them they&#8217;re expired.
