03/13/2005: "It's the middle of the night"

   Here it is the middle of the night, 3:09 am to be exact. I am working as the night audit clerk at a hotel in Brunswick, Maine. I took this job so I could do my homework while I work since there isn't much else to keep me busy. Instead for the past few days I've been goofing off. OK, last night I did get a paper edited and ready for publication in the "Proceedings of the National Conference for Undergraduate Research". But I could have gotten more than that done. Tonight I haven't done any homework yet at all: I've been too busy trying to find a way to keep spammers from ruining the little I've written on this site by filling up the comments with a million links to online gambling sites. I know I shouldn't bother. First, no one reads this stuff. Second, I have better things to do. Third, no one reads this stuff.
   I don't really have anything to say but maybe I can start tonight to make it a habit to write regularly.
   So here goes. It snowed again today. Nice wet snow so you get soggy just looking at it. Fortunately, I didn't look at it much because I slept through almost all the daylight hours. I say fortunately but really I hate sleeping during the day. I can sleep a full eight hours (or even nine as my body tends to want to do) and still feel like going to bed by the time it's time for me to go to work at 11:00 pm. But I get here and there's no where comfortable back behind the desk and I'd hate to be found sleeping in the lobby...so I'm not tempted to sleep. I just give myself guilt trips for avoiding my homework.
   I have to write a lab report for my work last week for Instrumental Chemistry. I'm not looking forward to it. It's just another standard curve with the twist that I have to compute the area of a band on a cyclic voltammogram. I think I'm avoiding that because it's so uninteresting. Sigh, but I'd better get to work if it's going to be done by Tuesday. Reading the voltammograms alone will take a few hours, I'll wager, just because we didn't label each curve very clearly. Don't worry, I won't include a link to a site explaining what any of this is. Maybe you'd want to follow it, maybe not. In any event I'd just be wasting my time looking for one.
   So I guess I'll go get to work. If you found reading this interesting then God help you.
