Brain Dump

I agreed to cover the first two hours of Daniel’s shift this morning so he could sleep (long story, but basically he’s working two jobs for the City despite officially only working one, and he’s exhausted). So I was in at 05:00. Then class until 13:00. Then back to work until 21:00.

So, basically, I’ve been on the go for 16 hours straight, and it’s been tiring. I also ended up agreeing to work the first half of Keri’s 12-hour shift tomorrow so she can stick with her family as her grandfather just passed away. That means back at work at 05:00 until class, but I’m free by 12:30, so I may crash and take a nap then.

But exhaustion is not enough to get me down. For today is the day after Easter, and we all know what that means…

Jesus is alive and he brings with him deeply discounted chocolate candies!

I did manage to fit a run on the chocolate aisle into my day, and that’s kept me bouncy through a combination of happiness and a constant state of sugar-high. So yaaaay candy.

The other thing that makes me happy is that I managed to finish Clay Shirky’s Here Comes Everybody over the weekend. I’ve got a one sentence review: “You* should read this book.”

Seriously. It’s just that good.

*: This is a universal ‘you’, but I’d actually welcome questions. If you want to know why you, specifically, should read Here Comes Everybody drop a comment and I’ll lay it out for you.
