Amusing incidents...
I though I'd share this little amusing incident that happened to me last night, well, early this morning if you want to be a stickler. As you well know, I can pick up shifts at work where I get paid to sleep (if you don't know that by now, then you obviously haven't been paying attention, and I just wish that you would leave...right now.... I'll wait......).
Anyway, so that is where I was last night, and retired to the couch around 11 or 11:30, only to be rudely awakened at 2 a.m. by a large beep. I awoke, but was confused, and couldn't figure out what it was, and then I heard it again. Well, it's coming from my cellular communication device, telling me that it had a very low battery, every 5 minutes. Well, immediately I become worried, as A. I am going to be unable to sleep with a loud beep every 5 minutes. B. I use my phone as my alarm clock, and it may go dead before 6:30. So... I wonder... what will I do. Well, at first I try our alarm clock, which like the good little alarm clock fails to function. Instead of making a noise when the alarm goes off, the numbers flash on and off. Well, as wonderful as this is, it isn't a sufficient awakening device. So now I am very worried. I don't wish to call anyone at 2:30 in the morning, requesting that they call me in 4 hours to wake me up, I think hard. Then it comes to me, my sister works nights at a hospital. So I e-mail her, with a subject line of " Open this immediately, yes, right now at 2:30 a.m." with an explanation of the situation, the number of the house, and a plea to call me at 6:30. So as I am too afraid to go back to sleep, I was worrying I would sleep until 8 or something, which would've been bad, I just stay up, checking my e-mail every 5 minutes, and surfing around. Finally at 3:30 my sister calls, and says " Yes, I will call you in three hours, now go to sleep". so, I got about 5 1/2 hours of sleep, which didn't affect me too badly. So the moral of the story is, when you need something at 2:30 a.m., e-mail your sister, she'll come through.
Well.. I suppose....

Oh man, you totally should have called me. I was awake until 8:30 on Sunday morning not because I was out late or because I have some specific thing I didn't want to sleep through but because my brain wouldn't shut up. It was racing like one of those little remote control cars or something.
So the moral of the story is, when you need a wake up call at 2:30 in the morning, call Courtney. She's probably not sleeping anyway. Her brain won't shut up.
Dude when are you ever going to update this???
:O)
