Two and a half more hours...

I'm so damn tired. It's Friday, so the phones are slow. I'm too burnt to really effectively entertain myself online (everything seems to require too much mental effort and/or clarity of thought). And I'm tethered to this desk with a headset.
Oh, thank god, a phone call.
Well, that took all of 55 seconds.
I'm hideously, hideously bored. This only happens when I'm this tired; the rest of the time I can exert the miminal energy necessary to entertain myself in any of a million ways.
I want my brain to work. I wonder if I'm too tired to be entertained by porn. I think I'll go search the Smallville archive.
Expect more grousing here if I find that it doesn't distract me.

Later on, if you give me a dead rat or some marbles, I might even let you help whitewash the fence. If you really ask nicely.

Date: 2003-07-25 12:43 pm (UTC)Pretty please? Because the result of my last attempt at entertaining myself is that I'm now exhausted and horny as hell. Not precisely an improvement, given that I'm in an office, with only my apple slices to molest. Physical labor sounds like just the ticket. Where's that fence?

Date: 2003-07-25 01:23 pm (UTC)Oh dear god. Now I've got an old camp song going through my head...
I like to eat, I like to eat
Apples and Bananas
Apples and Bananas
(normally it's sung through repeatedly, replacing all the vowel sounds consecutively -- "o" is
Oo Looke to oot, Oo looke to oot
ooples oond boonoonoos
ooples oond boonoonoos)
I'm now stuck on
I like to eat, I like to eat
peaches and bananas
peaches and bananas
*snort*

Peanut, peanut butter . . . and jelly.
First you take the peanuts and you smash 'em, ya smash 'em . . .

Or maybe they do but I've not heard about it. Next thing you know your trying to bump it against the underside of your desk without anyone noticing and daydreaming about all your buxom co-workers. Eventually the daydream shifts into a regular dream and the next thing you know you're waking up a few minutes later in shock that you fell asleep in the first place thinking, "focus dammit! Get a hold of yourself!". The adrenaline panic lasts a little bit and then it starts over.
A friend of mine sometimes suggests just going off into the john to masturbate but I have way too slow a fuse for that.
Oh and the fence is in Hannibal missouri.

Date: 2003-07-25 01:42 pm (UTC)I could find the space here but not the time. Sadly (sigh)... no that's not strong enough. let's try again:
"sadly", he said and then he sighed melodramatically throwing the back of his hand to his forehead, fluttered his eyelashes and began swooning like a woman in a cheap victorian penny opera.
Yes, that's much sillier.

Tired....
