3:10 AM – Get put into an incredibly difficult situation where there is no good answer, then told that the decision is mine.
3:30 AM – Unintentionally make friend cry. I can’t make decisions at this hour, much less decisions where I don’t have the strength for what “should” be the answer; don’t have the lack of guilt that makes the other options easy.
6:15 AM – Wake up. Can’t get back to sleep.
7 AM – Send a “hope you’re not dead” text, since if the answer is that there has been injury, I am the ultimately responsible party.
7:15 AM – Decide to treat myself to a fresh bagel. It’s too fresh- the center is raw.
7:30 AM – Drive. Still can’t figure out a good answer to the 3:30 AM dilemma.
7:45 AM – Order an almond mocha. Get an almond latte. Spill it on my white shirt.
7:55 AM – Clock into work. Am behind on hours this week.
8:45 AM – Network is acting weird. Half of IT is on vacation.
9:30 AM – Find out my travel plans have been messed up. The extent of which is still unknown.
10 AM – Impromptu meeting about the usage of articles (such as “the”) in writing. Isn’t grammar FUN, kids?
11:45 AM – Get a message that grandpa has been taken via ambulance to the hospital. 600 miles away, can’t do anything.
12:34 PM – Get red rice on my shirt. Still no word from the 7AM txt.
