Tiredness is Boring

I'm absolutely exhausted and I have no idea why. I'm not getting lots of sleep, but I got about eight hours last night, which really ought to be enough. I slept late on the weekend and didn't do anything particularly stressful. So what's up with my body? Is this all due to stress from work? Because it's gotten much more intense this week, with a release due any second now and me still testing, running the releases, providing support for the other QA people, going to many meetings... gah. Even thinking about it makes me want to scream. I'm getting a lot done, and I'm doing a good job, and it's for a good reason -- but I want this to be over. Now.

Oh, well. At least I'm eating.

The weekend was amusing, although we failed to rent either The Truman Show (because it was out) or Ever After (because it hasn't been released on video yet). Friday we ended up skipping the rental idea and going to Max's in San Bruno with a bunch of people. I had chicken livers (yum!) to the great disgust of half of the table. It was a very long dinner, but the food was good and it was nice to have a long time to sit and talk to people.

Saturday passed in a blur of playing Might and Magic VI, which so far is not as addictive as everyone claimed it was -- but still pretty addictive. There's a little too much repetitive travelling to get from town to dungeon and back again. I seem to be able to play it for about three hours, and then I get tired and want to do something else. When I got to this point on Saturday I found Jim and we went to fail to find the right videos. We ended up renting Fire, which is a bizarre movie about lesbian relationships in India. I still haven't decided if I liked or it not, but I think it was good.

Sunday. There was group. I successfully avoided info-dumping, and limited myself to a short interactive bit where I talked more about adolescence. Then today there was Norm, and I mostly talked to him about my mom. I sort of feel like I'm avoiding doing any of the really hard work, but ... it's yet another 'When I'm ready to do it I'll do it'. Or at least so I choose to believe.

Book-wise I just reread Humility Garden, which I first read two years ago. It's somehow much better than I remember it being, which I find odd since I know I really liked it the first time. Why did I decide it wasn't very good when I liked it so much? Anyway, I'm now moving on to the sequel, Delta City, which is not as good as the first book but still very nice in a strange sort of way.

More work has just appeared. I go to cope.
