The Cozy Corner

[metrifonate]

Not to brag… but I slept from 11pm all the way through to my alarm clock at 5:45
No wake ups at all
This is a first in… YEARS

I normally wake up for the toilet. Could be worse.. not wake up for the toilet.

The question is, planned to be up at the time or unplanned?

My workday is 5am - 5pm

Truer words have never been spoken. In that case it is best to wake.

You’re right
The flip side would be worse
Are you able to fall back asleep easily?

What kind of a commute do you have? I would think you could try and squeeze in a little more sleep time before getting in at 5am.

Absolutely bragging but I slept from 11 to 7AM this morning. A full 8 hours. I have my book to thank. It's so cozy.

Again....what's THAT like?

Look, I have my struggles too. Buddy.

Sometimes... or sometimes I may lie awakek pondering such important questions as "why isn't the plural of octopus octopi?"

I was starting to think you were some sort of lit cryptid ... Like I'd heard tell of healthy adjusted humans on here but I was doubtful because I'd never seen one myself

The 'i' ending is reserved usually for Latin second declension nouns. Okto and pous are both from Greek. Does that answer your question? Of course there are exceptions, it's English.

You have your choice of Octopuses or Octopodes (more Greek).

Good morning everyone. Office day for me today. 8 hours in my Sensory Deprivation Chamber, aka my cubicle.

I hope you all have a wonderful day.

hopefully you get less octopi nights…

when I wake up, it’s always octopi, or the status of a load of laundry you know damn well I’m not getting up to do anything about, or a permission slip I need to remember to sign
Sigh

I find it odd that your day to be in the cubicle is Hump Day.

I wish my lying awake moments were that philosophical. Most times it is just thinking of things for work that I need to make sure I don't let slip.

It has to be one of the days of the week

I'll have a Prosecco waiting for you when you de-chamber.

One hour each way

I will definitely take you up on that

That makes sense. Sorry, that sucks. I complain about mine, but it is only 44 minutes roundtrip.

Part of my commute is on one road, it’s 9.9 miles and has 26 traffic signals.
