    I have bruises on both of my forearms and on my calves and ankles from sleeping awkwardly on the floor the last couple of days, because I moved into a new semi-furnished apartment and don't yet have a bed. I won't have one until tomorrow, and that's if I'm lucky.

    I tried sleeping on the loveseat that came with the apartment, but I'm way too tall and can't get into a comfortable position on it. I got about 3 hours of sleep due to sheer exhaustion before a neck cramp and a leg cramp woke me up. Couldn't get back to sleep until almost 10 am, again from exhaustion, this time on the floor, where I woke up 2 hours later both still tired and very sore.

    Life as a whole blows when you can't get good sleep.

    Heh. You are hard core. You should have bought some el cheapo air bed. It would have lasted until you get the real bed.

    This is so true. And we're not talking "I've stayed up for 3 days because I didn't want to go to sleep", I mean "I've wanted to go to sleep properly for 3 days, but haven't been able to." It honestly puts you in a different state of mind.

    Anyway, as crappy as all that sounds, I got a hilarious mental image of a giant complich8 trying to squeeze uncomfortably into a normal-person-sized couch. Kraco's right. You should buy an air mattress.

    <@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs

    No sleep sux...
    I remember going on a casino trip. We left my town at 11am on a thursday, and we arrived at the first casino at 3am of Friday.
    I keep wondering why I keep taking this trips if I can't sleep on a damn bus...
    Didn't sleep until about 10pm of friday.

    Oh... and last sunday... or rather saturday. I went to sleep at 10pm, woke up at 2am, went to the office from 3am to 11am. Kept awake until 5pm where I fell asleep with ps2 controller on hand (:P). Slept 3 hours straight, woke up, had dinner, sleep once more.
    I could have gone to sleep earlier, since I left the office at 11am, but knowing me... I would have woken up at about 10pm and wouldn't be able to sleep once more awaiting for monday.

    and the irritation-fest continues...

    Apparently the 104 pound package that was due to arrive today was just the platform. So now I've got a nice MDF platform for a full-size bed, and the mattress isn't coming till tomorrow. Meaning I've got to wake up early and get several hours of work done before 2 pm or so, so I can be home when the mattress is delivered.

    On the bright side, the platform surface has a bit more give than the floor... so it's better than nothing.

    Now that I've got the platform, I'm trying to think of ways to better arrange the space in my room, and I can't come up with any that don't involve giving up access to one or both closets.

    I sleep on the floors during the summer all the time. I'm pretty much used to it now. I live in an apartment in Chinatown, and my bed's in the living room. We only have one AC in our apartment and that's in my Mom and Sister's Bedroom. During summers with sweltering heat a fan just isn't enough. I'd move my mattress in there but there isn't enough room in that room at all. So I'm forced to sleep on the floor during those hot blazing days. The first summer I had cramps and back aches, and I had like 2 layers of blankets on the floor. I don't know how the Japanese sleep on futon's so well, maybe those are like uber cushioned with like that material astronauts use or somethnig. But I'm pretty much used to it now, sleeping on the floor that is. Currently, it hasn't been a very hot summer (yet).

    back in 2003 i slept on the couch in the apartment i was living in for 3-4 months and then got an upgrade to a huge house and what not..... and slept on the floor there didn't mind at all though.

    anyhow, on to my bitching...

    This guy is totally ignorant, i'm totally leaning toward him having stole this psp he has that he is trying to get me to help him play the video files on the computer... with some kind of sandisk dvr device.... anyhow, he's totally ignorant... he smells bad, and wont stfu and is insisting on upgrading the firmware on this thing he has. He claimed he had some files to play but he only has 5-6 files all of which are 1mb or less and he's trying to tell me that he recorded a tv show or movie and wants to play it and he cant comprehend that there is no movie on the memory stick he has.... but he still wants to upgrade his firmware; so, i finally gave him what he wants and now its still got 35 minutes left to finish copying this firmware file to his mem-stick.

    35 minutes? Surely it couldn't take long even over USB 1.1...

    My computer died. The one at home.
    Or rather... power supply did. Must buy new one. Cheap, yes. But I don't know if something else got damaged until I replace it. And I wanted to see a Death Note marathon this weekend. Fck...

    Oh... and I hate my fucking neighboors. Bitches.

    Don't buy a cheap one. It'll just die again.

    I've been wading through my own configs and the mess made by trying to port them to redhat all afternoon. I feel like I'm getting nowhere. RHEL 5 doesn't yet have pdflib, and no rhel has apparently ever had a php-pecl-pdflib package.

    Also, the maintainer of that package is apparently taking his time. Not that I blame him, given that he's probably not paid for it. Just ... grr! So much crap in my way.

    Also, because of my crappy apartment network's setup, I can't reliably reach my home computer from my lab anymore, which means I can't even start up a music stream to listen to while I'm doing all of this crap.

    Went out playing basketball yesterday. The long awaited stillunderconstructionblackasphalted-playground is near completion and we played there for a try-out. I ended up losing 3 times in a row cause of good teamwork and leaving the darned place without my cellphone wich had been stolen. Fucking drunk dickweeds...

    If I see any of them, I'm gonna shove my black reebok ball so far up their wasted arses that I'll be dunking their brains all over the place. Then I'll steel their money and buy me a new phone and basketball.

    Now... we can click as warriors... button to button, it is the basis of all internet.

    A somewhat good bitch... I think...

    I tried for 3rd day in a row to turn on the computer. It did. Its on. Im currently writing on it.

    The thing Im bitching about is... I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL WAS WRONG! or rather what the heck did I manage to fix.... curse it...

    So I go to work yesterday like normal and I hear everyone signed their time sheets last friday, I'm like shit now my paycheck is gonna be late. I go to my team leader (I work for a United Way summer program that keeps ghetto rotten kids off the streets, or thats what its supposedly doing) and he tells me that I wasn't on the list. I say how can I not be on the list I need to get paid for the past 3 weeks? He says well I'll try to take care of it SK and make sure you get paid this week. I'm just like WTF because I knew this program was shitty but to not even have an employee on the books at all is ridiculous. So now who knows when I'm going to get paid since its been 3 weeks and I wasn't even on the employee list.
