10:00pm – On the phone with Tony, decided to pull an all nighter because the only thing I accomplished all day was to improve the length of my to-do list.

Emails: 52 since 3:30pm     Tasks: 31

10:30pm – Went to the gas station to pick up some liquid energy and a snack for tonight, cricket decided she was going and offered to drive.  I bought 3/5 Monster Energy, a Nos in case the monster energy’s flavor sucks (it will) and a bag of sunflower seeds for $10.78.

Get Glue – Monster Energy

11:00pm – Got home from the gas station, set up my seat and cooler.  Then I started an episode of The Office halfway through. Michael impersonates “Survivorman” and then says “That’s what she said”. Started this blog post.

Get Glue – The office, earned “The Office Coming Soon” badge

11:10pm – Started episode 8 of Pawn Stars. Rick laughs at a guy for asking too much for a Coke Machine, laughs at another guy about some comic books.

Get Glue – Pawn Stars, was offered 10% off Pawn Stars Merchandise

Emails: 58      Tasks: 31

11:15pm – finished a Spicy McChicken and a Double Cheeseburger. Looking forward to hearing about how awful my food choices are from friends on twitter. This food is already having a McGangBang in my stomach.

11:25pm – installed login lockdown on a WordPress site, realized that it would be a ton of fun to restore cars with Tony. Maybe that’s the next thing we do with Spotted Koi?

11:55pm – my stomach is starting to hate on me for all this garbage that is sitting in it.

Emails: 66   Laptop CPU temp: 50* C

1:15am – found out google maps API v3 sucks at removing hundreds of markers from the map, this is a serious downfall to v3.  Now we have to restart this half of the project on V2 and tell the customer we need another 48 hours. Also, we’re eating this extra time. This kind of sucks.

Pawn Stars Episode: 14     Emails: 28

Task completion status: minimal – still don’t know where to start. I guess I’ll kill these emails off.

 1:50am – emails almost nearly tackled, a couple of tasks completed from both PM list and personal list, email tasks completed.  Checked reddit for a couple minutes break.

Emails: 17 (6 new since 1:29am)    Tasks:30

2:15 – checked analytics and adsense, two sites together are averaging $20-25 per month. How can we make that $50-100?  Started 2nd Monster drink.

Emails: 22 – wtf!?      Tasks: 30, I closed 2 tasks…how is this possible?

2:50am – stopped for a minute to look at Facebook/Twitter/EmpireAvenue after closing out a couple tasks for my projects.  I started typing stupid shit in emails I am sending out, repeating peoples names in sentences and then closing applications instead of closing windows. Will have to double read everything before I send it out.  Also, I am amazed how many of these Pawn Stars episodes I have seen and recognize.

Emails: 25 – seriously, who is sending me emails at 3 in the morning?       Tasks: 24

Pawn Stars Episode: skipped 17, 19, 20 – no watching 21

4:00am – My break was an hour long, fell into reddit for a while. Getting back to work now. Hopefully this doesn’t effect my overall completion of tasks too much. Oh man, I have to pee like crazy all of a sudden.

4:20am – I decided to go through my inbox from the bottom up, checking anything that I was saving for later. While doing this, my legs started cramping up. I think it is probably from not drinking enough water. Oh well.

4:40am – my stomach is ready for food, it started talking to me. Also, the tip of my thumb has started to feel like I have a pin in it. My cats are a little confused by my presence in the living room, they are staring at me.  Time seems to be moving much faster than it does during the day.

Emails: 27   Tasks: 22

4:53am – I am starting to get spacey. I noticed that I am starting to stare at things and not move for minutes at a time. I was in the middle of writing something, looked up at the TV and by the time I looked down I had to re-read what I was working on to figure out where I was.

Emails: 20    Tasks: 22

5:23am – all my emails are tackled as of right now. I am closing Sparrow so I can focus on the tasks in PM and on my paper. My brain feels like there is fog in there and my eyes make everything seem like it is way further away than it really is. It’s like being high, but crappier.

Emails: 0     Tasks: 21

5:40am – I looked outside and I am starting to see signs of a sunrise. I also got initial tasks for two projects setup and assigned so that they can get started right away. Only 3 more project’s tasks to set up and assign and then on to the remaining tasks I have in PM

Tasks: 23  Projects to Assign: 3   Sun: Coming up

6:45am – It is light out already, I had to scan a document and send it out so I opened my email program Sparrow again. Already back up to 17 emails.  I have assigned all the tasks from my projects, all that’s left are tasks in PM and checking up on a couple active projects. I just thought it was strange that I switched from using colons after my time entries to dashes, so I scrolled up to see when I had switched. I hadn’t switched, I just imagined it. Everything I do from this point forward needs to be double checked. I no longer trust my fingers to type what they are supposed to type, or at least my brain to interpret correctly, or whatever I am trying to say here.  Ding! 18 emails now. Shit.

Emails: 18   Tasks: 23, still   Sun: Smug bastard is out, making the sky blue again.

Ding! 19 emails. Fuck. Shit.

7:17am – Something I learned and discovered while describing my evening: Monster energy drinks taste like someone poured pixie sticka into 1% juice drink from concentrate with high fructose corn syrup and then mixed it with soda. It is this thick syrupy nastiness that tastes like fruited ass.

9:07am – I drank a fruit smoothie thing, exercised hoping that would wake me up, and took a shower. I basically feel like complete shit. Not only did the jumping around not help, it made me nauseous. I need water, but also want caffeine so that I can work a real day of work. Not sure if that will happen.

9:34am – Trying to sit at my computer is not working, set the coffee pot and my phone to go off 15 minutes before my meeting at 11. I am going to put head to pillow and let eyes rest.  It is amazing how this feeling sort of swells up inside from the stomach through the chest and then attacks the brain and eyelids. It is a foggy weakness that is all consuming at the moment. More for later. Hopefully the slapstick silliness sets in during or after my meeting, that could be fun and with this customer – they would find it hilarious.
