Crash and Burn

Before I talk about my night and whatnot, I have a question- for all of you that use the metro to commute to work... don't you feel sorry for the Examiner guy? There's the loud and friendly Express guy that is handing out free papers left and right, and then the poor Examiner is just standing there with a pathetic look on his face because no one wants his crappy paper. But, that Express guy by Cleveland Park is almost as cool as the guy who plays trumpet outside of Union Station, between it and the Capitol- both make my morning just a little bit nicer. Poor old Examiner dude. Maybe I'll get your paper tomorrow... but probably not.

Well, my friends said that it was coming, and sure enough, last night, it did. I crashed. After being slightly more and more delirious each day with little sleep, I almost fell asleep around 1pm yesterday at my desk. I got a second wind after work, but then just about passed out again during my Arabic tutorial. I then sat on a couch at the boy's place (he asked me if I had a nickname in my blog for him yet, and I said no... I sitll can't come up with one, so I'll just call him "the boy" until I think of something good) for about an hour-ish and was pretty languid... all conversation/personality was just stripped from me. Not because I wanted to be quiet. I had things to say, none of which were really important, but still. I just couldn't physically form the words, I was so tired. That, and I wasn't feeling too great, either. It's regrettable because he'll be out of town until next week, but things happen, I guess. Doesn't make me feel any better about it... I should have taken more advantage of the time, even if I felt awful. But, I'm somewhat recharged after sleeping last night. I'm skipping football practice tonight to sleep, too... I'm totally rambling on, but at least I'm not absolutely delirious like I have been at work the past few days and at the hockey game. My coworkers were looking at me as if I was on something serious.

I was having a few problems with a work assignment yesterday (I was given an assignment with no clear direction) and after being told it was wrong but was given no other feedback, I voiced my concerns... just to hear "Hahahaha, well, there's a pretty big learning curve here, huh?" and then the boss walked out of the room. Whaaaa? What did I get myself into? But, on that note, I am off to donate some money upstairs so that I can wear jeans tomorrow (yay!) and finally get to work. Sorry my life is so boring right now.
