I stayed in
Richmond two days too long. Never mind that I had to finish up my
projects at work and make a couple of changes to
production systems at 0730 EST (necessitating me waking up at 0615 to leave home at 0645 -- damn
commutes from
parents' house), or that that two days' pay will take care of my
rent for one month. The
manager across the aisle from my
cube has been
sick all week, my family has been progressively getting sick for the past week and a half, and now I'm sick. No
rest for the weary, though; in order to get my mail and pay
bills on time, I have to get back to Blacksburg by the time the post office closes at 1230, meaning that if I allow time to
drive thru and get
breakfast at the
Stuarts Draft McDonalds off
Interstate 64, I can leave at 0830 at the absolute latest (3.5 hour drive, and something
screwy almost always happens to stretch it out longer than that). So it's another 0615
wake-up call tomorrow. Classes start Monday.
