I have to get up in less than five hours to go to work.

Why can't I sleeeeeeeeeeeeeep.

First! I have actual vegetable matter in the house. (And there was much rejoicing). Second! I have a new tube of toothpaste. This may not seem like a huge thing, but it IS. (And there was, is, and will be much rejoicing.)

So - my first day at work. I didn't sleep much the night before (though, since I'm relatively sure I didn't really perform major surgery on scrunchions, I must have gotten SOME quality hallucination in.), but still managed to drag myself out of bed at 5:30 and dress myself successfully. Trousers on the right way around, even! Ate one of my Emergency Hard-Boiled Eggs for breakfast, made hot chocolate in my wonderful travel mug, and put shoes on just in time for my ride to pick me up. MB and I made amiable gurgling noises at each other and agreed that it was vastly unfair that we were up this early and wouldn't even get to see the sunrise. We were inside the building by the time it dawned. What a ripoff!

I honestly don't remember much else that happened today as it's all a bit of a sleep-deprived fog. There was an interminable extremely thorough safety presentation, done on Powerpoint with the lights dimmed. It is extremely unfair to get eighteen people up that early, then expect them to stay awake through an hour-long presentation while sitting in comfortable chairs with the lights dimmed.

It wasn't so bad. It was the usual first-day-orientation stuff. Hello, we're assuming you're an idiot right now, you won't be in three weeks, introduce the person sitting next to you to the group, etc, etc.

Now to stay awake until nine so that I'll actually sleep tonight! Must...not...nap.
