But son...it's only Tuesday

[jethrien]

Why am I so convinced that it's Wednesday today?

I'm bored. Bored out of my skull. The stuff I'm doing right now needs to be done, but is unfathomably mind-numbing. I keep hoping that sky pirates will crash through the window or something. With monkeys, if I'm really lucky.

Where are you, sky pirates?

The same thing has been happening to me, and I took a day off work yesterday so I'm really confused.

See, the problem is that I didn't take off. I have no reason to think today is Wednesday. I don't know how I got this thought in my head.

This is where listening to NPR on the web always saves me. Trust me, I wouldn't have been able to do so many sudoku books if I didn't have Ira Glass's dulcet tones in my ear.

I've started bringing CDs full of mp3s to work, and listing to them during repetitive tasks. They make life much more pleasant when typing numbers into spreadsheets.

Hey, you don't get the sky pirates until I do!

Sample non-confidential reading of the day:

"In order for an item to be a public record, it must be 'kept' by the public office. However, that does not mean that the item must be 'required to be maintained by the public office before it will be deemed a public record. Rather, the item must simply be the type of item typically and actually retained by the officcezzzzzzzzzzzz..."

Give me another couple of weeks. I need another point of base attack bonus and another feat before I qualify for the Sky Pirate prestige class.

Do you want dire monkeys, or celestial monkeys?

Celestial.

Are undead monkeys celestial? Please clarify.

Meanwhile, now it IS Wednesday, but yesterday afternoon, I was thinking it was Thursday. I think Monday was the longest day ever and has distorted our perceptions until we get rebooted by the weekend.

This is so weird. I know it's Tuesday, right? I feel that it is. Then the post-doc asks me, "Is today Tuesday or Wednesday?" and BAM, I no longer have any idea and I suddenly think it's Wednesday. I managed to say Tuesday, but it's felt like Wednesday ever since. I hope I remember to go to my writing class...
