Or start drinking coffee!

Guess I could start making sure I go to sleep in the bedroom where my laptop charges instead of falling asleep in the lounge chair. That would reduce my commute to across the room instead of across the house.

drinking coffee would create the need for trips to the bathroom.

At my old house I timed my commute one day. The conditions were ideal, it was early summer and a pretty spring like day. I backed my 914 into the garage the night before so I could drive out and not need reverse. I started the timer as I hit the garage door button. I pulled into my parking spot at work 55 seconds later. It usually took me under two minutes if there was heavy traffic.

Best I've ever had was around 8 minutes to the office, almost all on back roads. That was great.

ohhhh the men of PP never cease to make me giggle with amazement at how grumpy and lame they are...present company excluded. Do I get a medal for pissing the most amount of people off in the shortest period of time?

Kinda like the real world, only the keyboard makes people type things they would never say face to face.

I pulled the plug on work. I need to go scuba diving just to equalize the pressure in my head. Either that or explode.

Stijn!!

I understand sinus pressure. During my last bout of sinus problems I told my wife that if she hears a loud pop to grab the dogs. The pop would be my nose blowing off of my face and I did not want the dogs to eat my nose before I could grab it.

A pop would be great at this point.

Glen, that was very funny. Lucky I don't currently have a dog!

I pooted. Nope, that's not it. Can't think of anything I would type that I wouldn't say in person.
