When I woke up this morning, it had been roughly 60 hrs since last
caffeine intake.
Saturday afternoon, I finished off the
Code Red, and nothing since then. The first two mornings, I felt like I had been
beat with a stick. This morning, I just felt like it was
kick in the stomach. About noon, I broke down and had half a cup of coffee. Less for the drowsiness than for a certain
biological process. It worked, and now I have working
neurotransmitters again.
Gate, your note about your job gives me an excuse to put up something that been on the scratchpad for awhile. This wasn't the first job that came around, but the second. Students, think very carefully before you accept that offer. This is your life, after all.
a paper folding
a keyboard tapped
a hard drive seeking
a tv show recapped
the computer fan whir
"right away, sir"
a yawn passed down
the hall, grows in power
all sigh as one
waiting for the hour
