It is still before 9 am.

I have been here since 7. I actually talked statistics, discussing a test I've never actually used yet, no less, with a graduate student before 8 am.

I have had a headache - borderline migraine, I take the meds and it recedes enough for me to function for a few hours - since Tuesday midday.

And now, NOW, someone is hammering in one of the labs on my floor.

*whimper*

I'm trying to type up an exam and get grading done so I can force myself to work on the "meh" paper this afternoon. I've promised myself that if I work on it today, I can bung it in a drawer over the weekend and not think about it, that I can have the weekend off (except for grading). But it's still sitting there on my desk, taunting me, telling me I won't get enough done on it this afternoon to justify my taking the weekend off. Ugh.

(and the hundreds of spammers sending me e-mails offering me "dimplomas" or "life-experience degrees"? And the ones sending me "Valentine's day is coming, get your fake viagra now" spam at work? I'm a lady, so I'm going to ask you to curl up and die, but I assume you can read between the lines and know what I really mean)
