A Day Off With Amy

A Day Off With Amy - I can't lately at all. I shouldn't be sleeping now, of course, but I was up from about 2 until 4:30 am and I'm exhausted today. What's impossible is trying to function when you are overtired. That's how I've been lately. I scribbled thesis notes all morning yestersay in my office, to the accompaniment of my office mate's exaggerated sighs, and rapid-fire page turning. I'd like to turn to her and say, "Calm down. Take something," but I don't. I brought ear-plugs today, but even they couldn't tune her out. She's always like that, snapping pages, sighing like her life's going to end, making every conceivable annoying sound one can make without vocalizing...so today I am relaxing. No work, just a day to myself.
