    I think you're losing sense of time, dude.

    I'm tired and it's going to be a very long day. Gotta go pick up the moving truck in an hour.

    Hey, $900 bucks in Oregon could probably get me a high end escort and some good coke.

    Well the coke might not be that good/uncut. I'm sure if I looked I could find better blow south of the border.

    Um, and the "high end escort" might not have all her teeth.

    And I guess my mom might not be that "cool" with me bringing home a crack hoe.

    Yeah, guess it's best I returned it.

    Then again Tom Petty is in Eugene Thursday night. A fact I did not know until turning on the rental cars radio. Could have got a decent seat for that amount.

    Maybe if I called United they'd give me the cash back? Nothing United does at this point would surprise me.

    In the end Karma can be your friend... or a real bitch.

    I'd offer to come help you move but got back from the hospital this morning at 0330 and I'm headed out the door now to take mom up the Legacy Emanuel.

    Long day ahead of me too.

    BTW... Sister in law is stable.

    Back in the 90's Tillamook's DA, sheriff, chief of city police and I all went to see Guns and Roses at the Coliseum. Three kids in front of us tried to pass back a joint they'd been hitting. The DA and Sheriff, maybe the city chief too?, all whipped out their wallets, badge first. Poor kids turned pasty white and left without turning around. We had a better view but I always felt a little sorry for them. They were, after all just trying to share. Simply picked the wrong guys to share with. Guess that's one joint them boys should have "Bogarted."

    I swear one of my advisors writes the most absurd comments and recommends horrible edits.

    OK Budget you're really starting to piss me off. First you wanted $1500 for a Ford Focus for one week. Usually that runs me about $350 at PDX. So I rent it for two separate days, one to drive to Salem drop it off then again one day next week to drive back to PDX next week, $90 each day. Today I take it down here in Salem to drop it off. Should have been $90... nope $115. Why? I asked. "Because you didn't drive it over 75 miles so our system automatically adds $25 for fuel. So even though I just topped it off and the tank is full you want to charge me for fuel solely because I didn't drive your car enough miles. What planet were you on when you came up with that policy?

    That makes it easier to dispose of the bodies after cutting them into more manageable pieces in the garage/workshop. You can only bury so many down in the cellar and need to be selective about who gets planted under a new concrete slab.

    Over 4,000 notations later, and I'm done that 400-page monstrosity.

    Now onto the next monstrosity that I have to finish before continuing with the final monstrosity!

    Two more days. Two more goddamn days, and I have no choice but to return to "normal." (If it still exists.)

    The best-case scenario: No reports before Wednesday, and I can just focus on the book until I'm done Tuesday night (or sooner).

    A manageable scenario: A report comes on Tuesday, and I can just leave it for Wednesday.

    Most likely scenario: I'll receive a report on Monday, meaning I'll have to juggle it with the book. I'll also receive another report on Tuesday.

    Wishful thinking: I'll only receive one report, and it will be under 2,000 words.

    If the gods hate me: I'll receive another goddamn 6,000-word report tomorrow morning. (By then, who the fuck cares about Tuesday?)

    ENOUGH ALREADY!

    Just when we're getting out of debt....BOOM, $1200 in car repairs and a failing home air conditioner, all in one weekend. And, it appears my brother's cancer might be back.

    I get it, life isn't easy. STOP TEACHING ME THAT LESSON OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER....

    FUCK

    Fuck, this book is really long even after combing through it twice already. I just can't wait to get through these damn pages.

    Ironically, I'm really looking forward to reading long, indulgent fantasy novels. I want to read something delicious and nerdy.

    So soon!

    The damn bank just rejected my $4000+ atm deposit. I spoke to a phone banker just now and now I have to call back tomorrow to speak to the atm people.

    So I received a report today. It's big but not huge, and it was at the end of the day. This means I can finish the book first without worrying about it. But this also means I have at least one more 12-hour workday or so (an improvement on 14!). It also means I can't take Wednesday off, especially not if I receive another report tomorrow. I might, however, be able to take the afternoon off. Thursday or Friday maybe. I should, at least, be back to reasonable work hours for the first time in...I've lost track...

    We'll see how long that lasts.

    I just want the sweet, sweet liquor of sleep.
