I probably slept for about 25m after that last page.

I got a page at 2:32am “something’s fucked up, fix this shit now. no, it can’t wait”. So I get up, do whatever I have to do for about an hour then traipse my unhappy-yet-sleepy ass upstairs. It’s 3:30 and I lay there for a while, not sleeping, wishing I was asleep and then Aaron screams. I get up, go to him and he screams that he doesn’t want me, he wants his mommy. Mommy comes in and then what the fuck else happens? Eli wakes up and starts to cry. Frustrating?! NO, not frustrating enough apparently because…my fucking pager goes off again and then again AND AGAIN!!! ZOMG WTF is going on with the system?! I leave a dreary wife and a screaming/crying 3 year old. I go acknowledge the pages and then call the operator – WTF is going on dude? – not a direct quote, I’m paraphrasing. pager goes off again! FUUUUUUUUCK. manager comes online – “what’s happening?” “um, my pager is blowing up, how’s your night/early morning going?”. then Aaron tells us that he’s not tired and doesn’t want to go to bed. I think “yeah right, it’s 4am, this kid will be going back to sleep”. Noooooope, he was awake when I left the house at 6am. when Meri wakes up around 7 or 8, he will have missed between 3 and 4 hours of sleep.

what a great day! did I happen to mention i’m supposed to be working from home today but can’t because I have a meeting regarding a project that I’m taking over?

super day!
