Friday. Most people would be thrilled to know it’s Friday, but for me, it has to be the most boring day of the week. See, even though I teach on Tuesday and Thursday, I still at least have stuff to do on Monday and Wednesday. Fridays, however? Fridays are spent doing random shit like making posters and magic wands and updating the webpage and archiving comics and working on my novel and maybe, just maybe working on the thesis or something productive. I don’t like grading papers on Fridays; don’t ask me why because I don’t know. I have an entire day that I have to be here at work when no students will come in for advising and no meetings or otherwise can break up the monotony. I’ve already checked all my comics as well as surfed random other sites such as I <3 Katamari (which I need to buy though I’m not sure I wanna mess with trying to find it in a store locally or just get it through the Amazon link on the sister’s site, which, incidentally, I bought some books through yesterday). I plan on updating my links page so that each webcomic has the dates listed for when it updates. That’ll take up all of ten minutes, maybe.

I so fucking need caffeine. I was just talking to Venita, one of the other advisors here, and I was telling her that I’m just about to pass out. My allergies have been acting up all day. That minute straight of sneezing in the shower forced a headache to set in and seems to have also upset my stomach. Or maybe that was the applesauce mixed with Aleve and One A Day vitamin and Viactiv chocolate mint chewie thing. I should take some Benadryl. That’ll really liven me up…not. Maybe I’ll go downstairs and get a damned soda so that I don’t waste my entire morning not being capable of doing anything, not even updating my site. Too bad I have no Advil or that I can’t take Advil while on Aleve because this headache is starting to really @#$%^&* piss me off.

Fridays suck. After a long week of grading papers, messing with meetings, working on the thesis, teaching, and otherwise just sitting around at my desk all day, I’m tired. Mondays at least I’m rested from the weekend even if I don’t necessarily want to be up so early. Fridays are just long, boring, and should be eliminated altogether. Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad if I weren’t sitting here by myself ’cause Heather decided to take the day off. If she were here, we could talk about the history of rifles or South Park or shit that’s going on down in SoInd. Pfft. I’m gonna go get caffeine. Wait, speaking of caffeine, I get three new types of tea today bumping my total number of teas up to 47, I think. Maybe that’s 49. I dunno; it’s just a lot. How exciting! Maybe I’ll spend all day dreaming about that.

Quickie update: Stairs are so much more terrifying when I’m not very awake. I need to learn to use the elevator when I’m not completely conscious.
