C&G circa aug 2007.

haha. not much has changed, but yet, so much has changed.

Should I be concerned?

That I slept for almost 12 straight hours last night? No joke, not exaggerating, I was complaining about a headache/wishy-washy feeling all day to anyone who would listen. I left work a tad early to get a jump on the traffic (and well because it's the week before Labor Day and everyone and their brother is out on vacation) and I got home just in time to lay on the couch. The sympathetic (or fed-up-with-the-complaining) boyfriend told me to go take a nap and it would make me feel better. So I did. And I slept from 6:30pm-11:30pm. Woke up, incoherently asked previously mentioned sympathetic boyfriend to make me a sandwich. He obliged. I ate. I got back into bed and slept ... straight. through. the. night.

No I didn't have a late night the night before. And though the previous weekend was fun -- it was not one of those stay-up-and-party-all-night weekends. So why was I so tired? I have no clue. Do I feel absolutely fabulous today? Yes indeed I do.

I guess I just needed a recharge. No need for concern .... right?

Who created "9-5"?

Who made up "9-5"? I hate "9-5". It is a very long portion of the day and it takes up all the good parts. You know the time when you are most awake, and alert.

In the summer the sun is shining so hard from "9-5" that you have to leave your car windows open so that when you get to the it at the end of the day (you know -- "5") when the actual temperature reaches 99 degrees and your car is so stuffed of all the sun you missed all day because you were sitting in an office that was locked at 71 degrees and you didn't even know that it was nice outside.

In the winter - well it's cold and you just want to be in your bed with your flannel pajamas a good book and a good person to snuggle with. (A good movie is a good substitute for a book or a snuggle partner, in my opinon.)

But no - "9-5" we are at work, 5 days a week, with only two days off for a weekend ("weekend" - dont even get me started) ... working away at our desks and looking out the window (if you're lucky enough, which I am - which I guess is also unlucky, because I am staring at a crystal blue sky right now - dying to get outside!). So this is to the inventor of "9-5" ... you suck.
