It's about to be Friday the 13th-if-it-wasn't-a-leap-year, so here's something to scare ya:


They said the flowers would come soon. Take them back now.

Got to bed at half past late yesterday, and was charmingly awoken by Hertz at eight AM to be informed that my insurance was not covering the last six days of my car rental. Eit.

Talked to Commerce, got issue resolved, but so much for a pleasant start to the day. Looks like a traditional start to con weekend: underslept, overstressed, and baseline annoyed with the world.

Also

Whether I have gotten much sleep or little, waking abruptly is a lot less pleasant than gradually. If possible, after being woken abruptly I will try to catch at least a minimum of extra sleep, say five minutes, to retroactively fix the manner of my awakening. I'm not sure why this works, except for the vague notion that I need to clean out my desk in slumberland. Anyway, that's what I didn't manage to do today.
