...at 4:37. And despite my best efforts (keeping my eyes closed as I maneuvered around the apartment, trying not to think any deep thoughts, and MOST IMPORTANTLY not humming anything catchy that might implant itself in my brain) I was up. I sat in the rocking chair, sacked out on the couch and went back to bed for an hour when Huz decided he was done sleeping, but to no avail.
I�m seeing my doctor on Friday (checkup, to see how I�m doing on the Effexor) so I�m going to mention it to him, along with some other stuff that�s bugging me. I don�t believe it�s anything related to the drug; any side effects I had at first seem to have abated. Just...other stuff. But enough of that.
Huz�s theory is that when you wake up like that, it�s just your body�s way of saying it�s slept enough. But this was maybe three hours and change of sleeping, and I know I need more than that, even if my body doesn�t. Though I will say this; I�m not exhausted. But I hope I�ll sleep well tonight.
So the New Temp was told that last Wednesday would be her last day. There�s a secretary in the Big Dean�s office � she�s been here about six months. Since her boss (the Vice Dean) doesn�t generate much work (mainly because he doesn�t do much work, butthatsanotherstory...) she�d made it known that she was, well, bored. So they figured they�d save some money and give her something to do, so they moved her in with me for the rest of the year. She started today. (The New Temp didn�t bother showing up for her final three days last week, butthatsyetanotherstory.)
I think she�s going to be very helpful. I hadn�t gotten to know her very well, but she now strikes me as very sweet. And competent. And it�s good to have someone there who doesn�t need explanations on the Inner Workings of The Little Law School. And she wants to help. Which is nice.
New Dean and she and I met to discuss exams today. I was expecting a brief discussion, but New Dean wanted to know everything about exams. So I basically walked the two of them through everything. New Dean was impressed with my organization. That�s a miracle on two counts: 1) that I managed to impress her and 2) that anyone could be impressed by my organizational skills. I�ve said this before � I�m only on time for things that matter to me. Well, I�m only supremely organized when they matter to me as well. I suppose this matters to me because handling exams alone scares the shit out of me. Hey, whatever works.
Time for Studio 60. I�m signing off.
