Ruminations of the Graveyard Shift

Recommended Posts

So.... I'm working the midnight-8 am shift at the desk here, that's right, the shift where nothing happens, but they still have to have someone sitting here, just in case. So what do you think I'm going to do, but deal with my boredom by posting my random thoughts! Woohoo!
I'm thankful there's a computer with the internet here at the desk. I'm also thankful for caffiene. I'm not thankful for the odd smell coming from the heater, but at least it's not cold.
If you watch the movie "Pretty Woman" with no sound, it still sucks.
You can play the verse to "House of the Rising Sun" indefinitely on the guitar, with no words, and it will slowly drive you insane. But it's a good thing I learned to play guitar. I think if I hadn't spontaneously decided to do that a few years ago, I wouldn't have spontaneously decided to skydive either. And that would suck.
After staring at a blinking cursor for 20 minutes, I can't help but be struck by the fact that I have to pee.
The graduate employee's organization here at the U of I was striking and picketing buildings the past two days. There's a picture on the front of the school newspaper of a picket line. Right in front is a guy holding a sign that says "No Union No Teach". I hope he's not an English teacher.
Just for good measure: boobies.
Now, because that's what's on my mind: boobies.
If I had to pick what I liked better, boobies, or anthrax... I'm ALMOST sure I'd pick boobies. Yeah, I would.
I'm glad my name isn't something wierd, like "Dickhead". It's bad enough that people spell my name with a "k" instead of a "c".
I'd rather be skydiving. No, really, I would! Skydiving is quite enjoyable. I believe I may continue skydiving on a regular basis for quite some time. I find it to be an excellent means of spending time having fun, sometimes with surprisingly odd people.
4:30 AM. Updates will continue through the night if necessary.

I agree wholeheartedly with Marc. Boobies are very nice.
Skydiving is also very enjoyable. Very much so with good friends. Since it is getting colder, it being central IL and all, i am starting to think that Los Angeles sounds REALLY nice at the moment.
Marc's mention of the protesters made me think of PCU when they, at the end, start chanting "we will not protest".
PCU is just the poor man's Animal House.
I am the sandwich i eat.

I type on the keyboard, watching the words come up in front of me. Or, do I watch the words type on the keyboard in front of me? I can post on any topic now, I am free. I turn off the TV I never needed, the remote falls to the floor. I am the button I click. I am... Willing to Post...

Marc...I...I think I love you. What a strange little mind you have.

Wow, that's never happened before. Usually women run screaming when exposed to the inner workings of my mind...
