Laboring under a head cold at the moment. I wouldn't go so far as to call it a vicious head cold, but respiration is so underrated when you don't have it in abundant quantities.

Ended up sleeping over at work last week one night. Legally bound to produce the document on time (no kidding). I had to leave early and had no means to return until after 10 PM. I handed off my work to various others, but everything seemed to blow up right after I left. Runouts on paper and toner, crashed computers, maps suddenly not printing or changing colors in mid-print, Murphy's Law in abundance. Fixed the bulk of it in short order (we're calling it the Jesus Factor), but one map had to be completely rebuilt. Printing took forever (large maps) and I finally hit the silk (read: concrete floor) with time for just three precious hours of sleep. Wake up, shower and attack another "must have" job. Fun.
