It's official...

I'm working tomorrow. I just got asked by the QA director guy if I can come in, and for how long. I told him I can stay as long as I'm needed, pretty much, since the busses on which I commute do run on the weekends.

But I'm going to try to bike down here tomorrow morning anyway. I figure if I leave the house around seven, I should damn well be able to get downtown by ten. That's about how long it took me to bike from Kenmore to Microsoft the couple of times I tried it, and on this route, there won't be any hills that'll really kill me.

And besides, I've been waking up early lately anyway, since we're heading into PHOTON CANNON season and the sunlight's been snapping me awake around 6am or so. I figure if I'm awake that early regardless, I can just suck it up and get on the bike. The tricky part will be figuring out when to leave so I won't be biking in the dark in the way home, since I don't have any lights on my bike. Sunset is after 8, so that should be doable. Though I suppose if I really need to, I can just take my bike to my usual bus stop and catch the 522 home. We'll see what happens.

And if I'm here tomorrow for a full day, that's a hefty chunk of overtime as well! And my lead was telling me that he'd be willing to let me have a paid day off next week to make up for this kind of a workload, which wouldn't suck.

ETA: And of course only after I decide to try biking tomorrow do I find out that there's a 40% chance of showers. Foo.

Yay for the photon cannon! I'm thinking of sleeping in my livingroom sometime, just so that I can be awoken by the sun. (I must be really weird.) Out my livingroom window it is very dark at night, but the windows face east and the sunlight is just glorious in the morning!

You don't understand--I don't LIKE the photon cannon. Especially since if left to my own devices, I'm often awake until midnight or 1am or even 2am, especially if I'm writing! So being smacked awake by the sun at 6am? Not so much my thing. ;)

Yeah, I stay up that late writing too, but I can't stand to miss a morning. (If I'm tired, I'd rather take a nap in the afternoon.) It's such a cheerful way to wake up. But then, I'm one of those freakish morning-people, even when I do stay up late.

I'd love to take a nap in the afternoon, but somehow I think they'd frown on that here at work. ;)

And I don't have anything against mornings, per se... they're just so... early! Hee.
