Remember yesterday, how I was saying how much I was looking forward to 6 or 7 hours of oblivion? I didn�t exactly get it. Oh, sure� I fell asleep all right, but did I ever have awful dreams!!!

I dreamt I was at work. Okay, so that part is not, it itself, so terrible� but I dreamt that every possible thing that could go wrong did go wrong, and I dreamt that everyone went home and I was the only one left to run the store, and the place was a mess, and the boss was screaming at me. No sooner did I close my eyes and drowse off, than I was back at work and dealing with more crap. It felt like I never left! It felt like I just got in, and had to go back to work� then closed my eyes and got comfortable, and had to go back again! Not to mention that they don�t pay me to work in my sleep. I told A.K. about it, he laughed and said it happens to him sometimes too.

That explains a great deal.

I did not wake up feeling refreshed. I felt cheated. I feel right now like I have worked more than 24 consecutive hours. I�m worn out, and my back is aching and tired� I am drinking a nice cup of chai and shortly I will be going to bed. Hopefully tonight I won�t find myself back at work in my dreams, and I really will get those precious hours of oblivion that I was hoping for last night. I don�t have any Bailey�s tonight, I finished it off last night, but I�m hoping mere exhaustion will take me to sleep tonight. I have to work tomorrow, and Monday, and Tuesday� only to go to classes Wed and Thurs and back to work for Friday. No holiday for me, and by taking these classes, I effectively won�t get a whole day off for the next 3 months.

Well, it has to be done, I need to learn this stuff. Nobody ever said it would be easy. If I start freaking out from lack of fun, I�ll ask the boss for a day off. I�m sure he�ll do what he can to make it happen, but I think I can make it through until the course is over.
