Spare some time, gov'nr?

Wow. Last post was on the 9th of this month; now it's the 22nd. Holy crap. You blink, and it's two weeks later...

So what have I been up to? I'd love to say I've been sitting in a comfy chair, drinking a martini whilst evilly stroking a cat and perfecting my plans for world domination...but nothing so glamourous.

For the past two weeks I've been working 10+ hour days at my day job. The downside is obviously the lack of sleep due to the extended hours. The upside is that I'm developing a healthy flourescant glow. If this goes on much longer, I'll be able to blind mere mortals simply by stepping outside on a sunny day.

In addition to this, this past weekend was my first "production" weekend at my nifty new freelance gig. Friday night I went directly from my day job to the freelance job. All told, I worked for sixteen hours...not including drive time. I was back again on Sunday, having used Saturday for various errands that I couldn't get to during the week.

Essentially my days have been:
1. go to work at the gluteus maximus of dawn.
2. work, work, work...
3. ten(or more) hours later, head home to feed/water myself/wife/cats/assorted houseplants.
4. collapse into bed, attempt to sleep before alarm goes off at 4am.

Funny thing is that back when I was a college student this sort of thing didn't phase me. Now I need to mainline caffeine just to be remotely functional...
