things have been better (but i can't remember when)

woke up this morning at 3:30 with a toothache (at least that's what i think it is), took 3 advil, ate a cold poptart, went back to sleep. work up at 7:05 to the damned emergency pager going off, spent the next hour or so on the phone trying to walk the new guy through fixing the problem, which was a simple one, only becuase i had been through it before. was supposed to time travel, had to stop at the orginal client first to take care of one other thing (how does 15 minutes turn into an hour so quickly?). when i finally got to the time machine, they hit me with about 6 other things (as is their SOP), so that trip stretched out into a 2 hour trip. came rip-roaring back to present day only to find out that there was "one other thing" that needed to be done at the magic, mystical time machine. so, turn right around and time travel some more, get there and not only take care of that "one other thing", also took care of the "while you're out here" issue.

do NOT ever say "all you gotta do is..." cuz that's NEVER all you gotta do.

so yeah, today's been busy, i haven't been feeling quite myself for the last coupla days and probably won't be.
