If this isn't hell, I don't know what is. After how tired I was at the office, I thought for sure I'd sleep like a baby. Not so. I've been awake since before 0300. For some reason, this place is just not conducive to calm or rest.
The air conditioner keeps firing on, and then shutting off. Not like it isn't needed. Maybe I should try adjusting the settings. I tried taking a bath at 0330. Thought maybe it would help. I guess it sort of did, but I'm still not sleeping. No bubbles. None available. Non sequitur.
I just know what's going to happen. Five minutes before time to wake up, I'll fall sound asleep. Never fails.
I hate this place. I want out. It's not like the people here haven't been really nice and cordial. They did their best to make me at home in that office. Got the grand tour, and all. I know I wasn't easy to be around list night, especially as it got later. I feel bad about that. Tomorrow / today, must make an effort to be civil, professional, and no more snide comments about the ergonomic nightmare of a Windows laptop I've been using. Everyone is doing the best they can. Crying over spilled milk isn't going to help now.
Many thoughts abound. Few could be sufficiently expressed in this writing, even if I had the time and will to try.
I'm going to make another attempt at sleep. wish me luck, all you readers who won't see this until long after the fact. That which does not kill me makes me stronger.
