There's too much caffeine in my bloodstream and a lack of real spice in my life

It's amusing to me how often my old high school angst theme songs come to mind when I'm working on grad school deadlines.

It's entirely too nice of a day outside to be stuck inside cursing at 23 pages of technical writing that I have to submit by 8 tonight for peer review. I even have a fever blister from the stress of falling so far behind last week due to work going ballistic & both our schedules being upturned. I haven't had one of these pop up since the insanity of a Texas trip then a conference over two consecutive weekends back in October.

Oh wait, I keep forgetting about the 2 day conference starting Thursday afternoon. Agh! The final draft of the preliminary behemoth I'm cursing at now is due next Monday, but there's some project for another class I haven't even looked at due on Saturday.

More Diet Pepsi...
