I am a genius, I suggested to my supervisor that I wanted to come to days the week before we go to Florida so my internal clock would start flipping over. It might be good next week, but I am miserable right now. I went to bed last night around midnight, then kept getting up to pee because I drank tea and soda all afternoon while BBQ'ing. I had set the alarm for 6:00am, and then sat on the edge of the bed debating whether to get up or sleep another four hours. Basically, I can come in anytime, I just have to be here 12.5 hours. I was about dressed by 6:50am, then my stomach grumbled. Nothing happened when I sat, so I went downstairs for some cereal, and then I figured I should run the pool pump to keep pool clean. I was able to muster a kid sized poop, I figured better than nothing, then I went to work, getting there by 8:00am.
Traffic was a real pain in the ass, I never deal with any going to work at 5:00pm. People are heading out of town and I am heading in. I was playing it cool, trying to listen to the radio, but several idiots cut in front of me in very aggressive fashion. Still, I got to work in one piece, and had some coffee with my counterpart on days. It is now three weeks we don't really have work to do.
I hung out until about 9:30am, then in the lab found another coworker, everyone I see asks how I have been and my family, so I have to slow down and fill them in. I made it over to the chemistry section around 10:00am and got with our chemist to discuss some work I am going to be doing with him. It sounds interesting, working with one of the diseases making headlines and possibly helping with early detection and treatment. Being over in the chemistry lab makes me feel like I should be over there being a chemist, but I have done imaging so long I feel it is too late to switch. If I can manage, I will learn the techniques over there, to possibly be a back up at night in the near future.
I went home for lunch and it was nice and quiet, for once in a long while. I love my boys, but they tend to hover when I am trying to look at porn. Boy is in San Marcos though through at least Tuesday night, and Chubs is participating with Wife in their summer school activities since I am not home to babysit him. My brother just moved in last week, but he is working, training on days for work at Walmart. Wife works up until Thursday, then we leave for vacation. Coming back, she will have one or two more activities to complete her summer responsibilities.
I look forward to going back to nights and being but an idea, nay one of the elves that would make the shoe cobbler shine by producing magical shoes while the rest of the world sleeps. That is where I have done my best work for almost 20 years. I guess this idea did work, it is 10:00pm and we are already upstairs and about ready for bed. Wife and I were asleep by 11:00pm, if this holds up, I should fare well next week.
