couldn't sleep a wink last night. So after hours of trying, I just got up and went to work.

Now I've been here since 4:45am.
There are a few people here, but not many. It's kind of cool I guess....

the freaking cafeteria won't even open for another 40 minutes. And I'm flippin' HONGRY

12/5/2008 5:22:57 AM

my building is extremely creepy when there's no one else around

the center of it is just a big open area that extends to a skylight that spans the entire roof... when the lights are mostly off and it's night, everything echoes in there and you see shadows all over the place...

i walk to the elevator as quickly as i can BUT EVEN THE ELEVATORS HAVE GLASS BACKS

you can't escape....

(then i go hide in my office)

12/5/2008 5:29:16 AM

hahaha

yeah, all but the main lights are off. so most of the hallways are pretty dim.

it looks like The Hive in Resident Evil....

but it's Lockheed Martin. There's GOTTA be guns in here somewhere....

12/5/2008 5:34:28 AM

ahahaha

see, that's the bad part... we're SAS... i can, uh... smack you with a base SAS product binder?

12/5/2008 5:35:39 AM

I could craft a plan to make it to the arsenal. Then with a small group of survivors, blast our way to the hangar through the hoards of zombies. When arriving at one of the helo. hangars, I'd say "FUCK....do any of you all know how to fly this shit?!?!"

12/5/2008 5:38:55 AM

i'd pay money to see that movie

12/5/2008 5:39:21 AM

I'm going to walk down to get some food pretty soon. The cafeteria opens at 6. It takes me about 20 minutes to get there from my office anyway.

mmmmm, blueberry pancakes today ftw!

12/5/2008 5:41:46 AM

Holy crap, I haven't had blueberry pancakes in FOREVER.

hmmm...

12/5/2008 5:44:50 AM

every thursday and friday

12/5/2008 5:49:17 AM

YOU DON'T HAVE TO FUCKING BRAG!!!

12/5/2008 5:52:11 AM

sorry man

If you lived in upstate NY, I'd invite you over one morning for breakfast

12/5/2008 6:11:08 AM

I lived in Newburgh, NY for 12 yrs. I miss NY a lot.

12/5/2008 6:14:00 AM

I bet you don't miss the abundance of deer up here.
Driving to work this morning, a deer saw my car coming....then slooooowly walked off the road

no respect. no respect at all

12/5/2008 6:20:01 AM

but deers (yes deers) are such regal creatures.

12/5/2008 6:23:30 AM

no matter. I'll get my satisfaction tomorrow morning when I hear shotgun blasts out in the woods. Yes....deer season opened about 3 weeks ago.

12/5/2008 6:25:55 AM

poor dears (deers)



also, just to let you guys know I don't have insomnia, I'm just up early.

12/5/2008 6:31:19 AM

Shawna sucks

12/5/2008 7:01:27 AM

I have the flu so I'm up

[Edited on December 5, 2008 at 7:10 AM. Reason : lemme hold some of them blueberry pancakes]

12/5/2008 7:09:43 AM

12/5/2008 7:44:06 AM

12/5/2008 7:46:16 AM

I just guessed

haha, ok 6:30am marked me being awake for 24 hours

luckily I just have to go until 1:15pm today, and I can go home.
just got my first cup-o-joe
I think I'm good.


even remembered to tell the secretary not to book anything that will run past 1

[Edited on December 5, 2008 at 7:50 AM. Reason : .]

12/5/2008 7:49:55 AM

signed.

I can't sleep hardly at all recently, being this tired all the time makes getting shit done just that much harder.

12/5/2008 7:52:30 AM

sweet

my boss's boss told me I could just go home and work from there

now I'm home in my sweatpants

12/5/2008 11:10:12 AM

you need to lay off the crack





i had to stay up all night the night before last with that motherfucking term paper that turned into a 20 page lit review



kill



i did notice that there were some listings for phd studentships in the exact topic of my review. they are in australia though

12/5/2008 11:13:53 AM

it's just life man....

12/5/2008 11:17:28 AM

if you went to work at 445 does that mean you get to leave soon?

oh jk after reading the thread you said you are working until 1:15. that is a nice day

[Edited on December 5, 2008 at 12:55 PM. Reason : .]

12/5/2008 12:54:27 PM

yeah, normal day....unusual hours....

Then my second line manager stopped by to see something. He asked if I was going to lunch soon...

I told him how early I got in because of sleep troubles, so I'd probably just eat lunch when I got home.

He told me to take off and just work from home. Cool guy

12/5/2008 12:57:18 PM

My dad used to work at Lockheed Martin in Syracuse

It went from GE to Martin something to Lockheed Martin....

12/5/2008 1:15:08 PM

in 1995 Lockheed and Martin Marietta merged

12/5/2008 1:21:18 PM

werd, I knew the two merged just didn't know the last part.

12/5/2008 1:24:05 PM

yup yup, it was a pretty big merger

Martin Marietta had some missles, spacecraft, and communications systems that Lockheed wanted. Lockheed had some jets, missles, labs, etc that Martin Marietta wanted. I think it was something like a $10 billion merger.

Anyway, Lockheed Martin was going to acquire Northrop Grumman too....but the government was skurred that the company was going to become too powerful
so they remain a competitor in some areas

12/5/2008 1:29:52 PM

Totally, you in the same area as my dad used to be?

That'd be weird.

12/5/2008 1:31:31 PM

not sure. what did your dad do?/what area was he in?

I'm not sure which facility is in syracuse. I'm not there though. Each facility specializes in different things....

[Edited on December 5, 2008 at 1:33 PM. Reason : I misread]

12/5/2008 1:32:49 PM

Werd. I think he was telecommunications. Anyway, I was young and don't rightly remember that detail.

12/5/2008 1:35:16 PM

nah, but PM sent

12/5/2008 1:36:00 PM

1/15/2009 1:16:46 AM

dammit

1/15/2009 2:21:44 AM

i, too, can't sleep atm

1/15/2009 2:22:19 AM

colds suck.

Especially the kind that make your entire body sore, make your ears hurt, and don't stop even after nyquil and ibuprofen.

1/15/2009 2:23:39 AM

I feel tired... the past few days have been really busy... I should be asleep by now... oh well. Anxious about an important phone call that's not coming for a while longer...

1/15/2009 2:24:39 AM

this is my usual bed time....

1/15/2009 3:48:23 AM

*sigh*

1/22/2009 12:58:33 AM

^lol, you sigh at 1 AM??

I'm not sure if i have insomnia or not. I usually don't fall asleep until 2 or 3.....but its usually because I'm procrastinating from doing something(like my homework tonight). All i have to do is type a one page response to some BS readings........but i just don't wanna do it. So here i sit.....waiting, until i get the urge to do it
