This weekend was the first weekend in a really long time where I completely decompressed from work. I had a Memorial Day party on Saturday and besides a few hours early Saturday morning, I didn't spend any time in the office for three whole days. I hate even referring to NG as work, but it can definitely take its toll.

I get an occasional bout of insomnia and can't sleep all night, which happened last night. It seems to happen even if I'm not thinking about the pressures of the next console game or work that needs to be done around the office. I simply can't sleep sometimes. So to top it all off, I come to the office this morning to find that air conditioning ducts are dripping condensation on the floor in two spots. Right now they are dripping into trashcans while I wait for a call-back from an HVAC company.

So much for my crappy morning... Did everyone else enjoy the three day weekend?

Amen.

Wait you said Hoes?

Well, I have now stopped going to school - starting last Friday. Now I just need to go in for exams and all that jazz.

So yes, I enjoyed it :)

Not really no, revision sucks.

I've been on your forums all night because i couldn't sleep, but now I have to stay up all day to get back on time. You should post more in the Flash forum Tom, especially if you can't sleep.

No, I didn't enjoned because I have to study >:(

Ah, such a gentle welcoming. Atleast they didn't drip down on your computer. XP

Hm, yeah. Or... actually not really. I was sick most of last week. It was although pretty nice to take time off from school and stuff, but I'm stuck with homeworks today.

Haha, I do that a lot, but I often fail around 1pm and screw myself up even more.

It's been Bank Holiday weekend over here in the UK. Which means that my 21st Birthday got celebrated fairly well (as did the three or so other people who share birthdays with me at Uni).

Chinese Restaurant on the Saturday, watched X3 on the Sunday, and a tonne of Uni work interupted by two episodes of Prison Break (yeah. We're behind. I know). Fairly good way to ring in 21 years of "damn, where DID my teenage years go?"

Meh, pretty uneventful weekend for me, didn't do much.

Enjoy my three day weekend? I guess I would have if I'd had one. I was stuck at my job the whole time so the only memorial day festivities I got to indulge in were the last 20 minutes of my friend's BBQ after all the food had been eaten and everyone was preparing to go home.

I'm glad everyone else had fun though >:(

I had to work for most of it. I did get yesterday off and spent it with my family.

Sucks about the leak. Hope you get it fixed soon, but hey look on the bright side, at least it wasn't dripping on any of your equipment right?

Got hella wasted. Sunburned, and don't know the origin of the hickey on my leg. I'll put it in the win column...until I find out about the hickey. How can NG be work? It's all just fun and games. And leakage.

I did that same thing this weekend. Slept, drank, chilled out...repeat several times and not neccessarily in that order.

I'm always nervous that if I take pills like that, it will reduce my brain's natural ability to produce serotonin. Sounds tempting, though. :)

Over the holiday I had 2 exams - an A-level Enlgish exam on Friday and a Advanced Higher computing exam. If both went alright (as I'm sure they did) I should be in University studying Computer Science in the next few months :)

I think that's worth giving up a holiday for.

To make up for that though I have 2 weeks ioff now till the next exam :D

cheer up tom

I was sick all weekend. And it's only getting worse.

I need to see a doctor so I'm seeing one today.

Wouldn't think working on a site is that much work, but it looks like it is.. And btw I had a 4day weekend :D

Don't do it! :O
You don't know the secondary effects (i.e. EXPLODING HEAD). So you better watch out.

Didn't do much, felt kinda shitty throughout the weekend seeing as how I slept at around 10(am) on Friday, and woke up at 7(PM) on Saturday. Went to sleep at 6(AM) on Saturday, woke up at 4(PM) on Sunday, and slept at 5(AM) on Sunday, woke up at 10 on Monday. Slept at 1 on Monday, woke up at 3, tv turned off and went to sleep, woke up at 6 and here am.

Friday: Slept at 10 am
Saturday: Woke up at 7:00 PM, slept at 6:AM
Sunday: Woke up at 4:00 PM, slept at 5(AM)
Monday: Woke up at 10(AM), slept at 1(AM)

Woke up at 6(AM) today.

Really lost track of time, no wonder my arms got weaker.

The greatest first reply ever.

That's what they want you to think, they have your brain in a flask where they project flase images, so this may be a scientist that wants you to escape. But it's too late..

I will say I do not take it regularly. I take it a few times a month, and I haven't had any side effects.

See above

Anyway, insomnia can be beaten. Good old fashioned warm milk, a teddy bear, and a bed time story should do the trick...works for me.

I could tell Tom a bedtime story anytime :O

Meh, i had a bout of insomnia last night too. Managed to get to sleep at about 8am til 1pm.

I still feel knackered.

I had one of the best BBQ's in awahile for me. We got two full slabs of ribs, burgers, hot dogs, corn, shish kabobs, and a full cooler and fridge of things to drink. We barely even got into the chips and potato salad and such. Finnaly got ine AC in the other day too.

I had a sleepover party with tons of friends and played games all night.
I have back to exam woes now.
Only 1 more week.

The air conditioning in our house leaked once, all over my PC. It fizzled it, now i have a shin y PC , yay:)

I have a 9m day weekend for the holidays, w0op!

Understood.

Better the floor than anything electronic.

Meh. Could have been better. The only cool things that occured, was messing around with my older brother. And I just got back from my last day at school, since the teacher released us, due to so many people not being there.

It was fun. :)
