Me, I’m at home chatting with Montfort
and surfing around.
It’s bedtime in an hour or so,
because here it’s soon midnight,
and I ahven’t anything planned more today.
I’m also listening to The greatest hits by Texas,
I don’t want a lover.
It’s 4:30ish PM on a Friday, and I’m still at work getting a cost estimate done for new offices being built in a warehouse.
Of course I shouldn’t be posting here if I want to get out of work any time soon . . .
Tripler
I need a beer. Help.
Reading the SDMB.
Scanning my photos from the weekend (including an adorable one of Twisty, from earlier in the day before he took ill).
Occasionally venturing into chat.
And smoking far too many cigarettes 
Signing off with my chat buddies, half-celebrating the weekend and half-falling asleep at my desk.
Wondering where I’m going in all of this.
Downloading SEC documents.
Waiting for a phone call from one of the companies that I follow, who ain’t gonna make their interest payment.
Waiting for 8:00 so I can call a bond trustee in Hong Kong.
Drinking seltzer.
The whole SDMB thing.
Trying to figure out how the MRO/USX breakup will affect my bonds.
Wishing I had remembered to get lunch today.
Putting.
7:30am Sydney time
Reading SDMB
Looking to see where my g/f hid my cigarettes (she’s at work).
Eating a sausage sandwich.
Drinking a beer (yes, I KNOW what time it is).
I was sure Manhattan said “a blond trustee”. Had to read that twice. Curse you Freud!
Reading a Salon article.
Catching up on Straight Dope.
IMing my boyfriend.
Talking to another friend, possibly making plans for the night.
Eating toast.
Surfing the boards, chatting in #straightdope, keeping tabs on my friends back home in RI via AIM.
Wondering why the hell my cell phone keeps ringing. When I answer, it’s just this beeping noise. Damnit! The caller ID is unavailable too.
Eating some soup.
Burning my tongue on the soup. OW!
3:45 Alberta time.
Trying to track down another truck for one of my crews.
Drinking water.
Waiting for 4:45 when I can leave and catch a flight home for the weekend.
Trying to remember which pool in Winnipeg has a waterslide (I promised my 3 year old.)
Trying to figure out where we got that copper wire from last year (we need six more boxes.)
Waiting for an engineer in Calgary to call me with some numbers I needed two days ago.
Listening to the hum of the air conditioner and wondering if they filter the air in here at all.
I’m chatting with Anniz.
Waiting for my boss to leave so I can go, too.
That’s about it.
It’s 8am here, Brisbane time and I’m sitting around in my beanie, fluffy socks, three cardigans and some long pants. I’ve very sick and amazingly enough, very hyper.
This coffee is goood, and I need a cigarette.
3:20 p.m., Seattle time (22:20 Zulu time)
– Clothes in dryer
– Waiting for teenager to call for pickup after school
– Watching dog chew stick in back yard
– Listening to “Nick Danger – Private Eye” (see Firesign Theatre thread)
– Waiting for the Indians game to start on Real Audio
Sitting here alone in the house.
Waiting to go to the last obsessive training session for my EMT test tomorrow morning. Light a candle for me folks.
Watching what appears to be large spirochetes, moving under the skin on my right forearm.
Wondering why the light outside is suddenly incredibly white in color.
Listening to Lenny Kravitz. I talk, he listens. He talks, I listen. It’s this thing we do. 
Attempting to remember all the words to " Mercedes Benz" by Janice Joplin.
Wondering if I have time for sushi take out before the session tonight.
Watching the cats watch me watching them as they watch me.
Trying to get up the sheer balls to end a relationship that’s eating away at me, much like those pesky spirochetes…
Cartooniverse
6:24 NYC time
Sorta watching the news on Channel 4 (NBC affiliate here)…
IMing my boyfriend, wondering when he’s heading out to play pool tonight…
Wishing it wasn’t 712 degrees in my living room, since I don’t have a laptop and can’t retreat to the bedroom, which is air-conditioned, and where my ferrets and my cat are lounging like the furry little slackers they are…
Just finished a bag of microwaved popcorn and a lovely glass of grape juice…
3:45 PST
Just finished mowing the lawn.
Avoiding edging the lawn and watering the plants on the deck, but still planning to get it done before 8:00pm(noise laws).
Being upset that I already read all the good stuff in The Stranger, Seattle’s newspaper equivalent to SDMB, and then next one doesn’t come out until next Wed. night.
Wondering why, even when I have the sound is off on the tv, it still makes a buzzing sound when the screen shows an all-white frame.
Wondering why, even when i’ts sunny, I still prefer to be in the cool, dark house on the computer.
7:03 PM Eastern time
Roaming the internet, thinking about a rousing game of the Sims. Not sure I can get into it tonight though.
A little lonely, but not too much. Had some leftover pizza for dinner. Avoiding the bar scene cause I just don’t feel like going.
Thinking that I have to get up early tomorrow for this day long conference thing. And also about how glad I am that it’s Friday. And maybe since I’m not going out, I’ll hit 800 posts tonight.
6:07 p.m. CST Friday evening
I just finished some typing and phone calls for the kids swim team. I’m listening the the annoying sound of the newest Gameboy Advance drone on an on. I’m also waiting on another load of laundry from the dryer and reading the Straight Dope between.

It’s 4:33 PM PDT.
I’m kinda half-heartedly working with extended SDMB reading breaks. I go home in ~45 minutes. HDIF - Hot Damn It’s Friday 
sitting in my office, wanting to go home
7:41 EST
At 6 am EST I took an Alleve.
At 9:30 am I took another Alleve.
At 1:30 pm I took a half a Vicodin.
Since 7:00 pm I’ve had 2 white Russians.
I’m thinking of chasing that other Vicodin half with another white Russian.
This sciatica is kicking my ass both literally and figuratively.
