Why am I here?

[reyd reid reed]

Why am I even up? I didn't get home from work until 2:30...yet here I am. I want to go back to bed but I can't; once I'm up, I'm up.

I've got a feeling it's going to be a long day.

[SteppingRazor]

1. Yeah, well... I got to bed at 3:30 a.m. So there!

:P

[reyd reid reed]

2. Then why are YOU here?

I can't ever go right to sleep when I get home, though. It's impossible.

I need coffee. Intravenously.

[SteppingRazor]

3. I'm here because I'm at work...

then again, I was technically working until 3:30 a.m. too. Hateful hours I have sometimes.

[reyd reid reed]

5. Ewwww

Worse than mine.

x(

7. Well, like I said, I was only kinda working last night...

I write a music clumn for a newspaper, so right now, I'm literally at work, in the newsroom. But last night, I was technically working, since I was at a bar watching bands. ;)

8. Makes sense.

At least, if yours is anything like ours, you'll be out of there before too long. Not exactly 9-5 unless you're in Business or Lifestyles.

[SteppingRazor]

10. Alas, I'm also the paper's associate editor...

so I'm both 9-5 and late night.

Slightly off topic, but ... hey! Colorado Springs. Lived there for four years myself. My first journalistic job was as a stringer for the Gazette-Telegraph (back when it was still called the Gazette-Telegraph) :hi:

[reyd reid reed]

12. You're kidding...

HA! That's not off-topic at all...'cause that's where I was until 2 a.m.

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

[Guava Jelly]

4. because we love you

:)

[reyd reid reed]

6. Awwww

That makes it worth it.

:loveya:

9. For a second, I thought that was James Stockdale posting on DU.

Then I realized that he's dead.

[reyd reid reed]

13. Which would kinda preclude posting

At least that's what one would assume. That rigor mortis and decomposition stuff, y'know...

[swag]

20. I wish that you had

italicized rigor mortis.

But like my mom used to tell me, when she wasn't repeating eastern Montana outhouse jokes, "Wish in one hand and spit in the other; see which gets full the fastest."

She still can't help from saying, when someone excuses themselves for burping, "Better to burp and bear the shame than to quelch the belch and bear the pain."

I've got enough of my own sophisticated lines to almost match her.

11. you have no idea

no way

[reyd reid reed]

14. I know.

Nine hours later and I still have no idea.

Well...I might have had one or two in the interim...

[Porcupine]

15. You obey the showing up rule.

Showing up is 95% of everything.

[reyd reid reed]

16. Yes. I'm a very good girl

I observe the rules (sometimes) and play well with others (when I want to).

I mean...what else is there, really?

:shrug:

[crim son]

17. Sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows your name...

or, something like that :P

[reyd reid reed]

18. ...

Cheers

:toast:

[crim son]

19. And to you, RRR.

:toast: Though I'm not drinking tonight. I know: unbeLIEvable!
