I'm so tired, I haven't slept a wink
I'm so tired, my mind is on the blink
I wonder should I get up and fix myself a drink
No, no, no

I'm so tired, I don't know what to do
I'm so tired, my mind is set on you
I wonder should I call you but I know what you'd do

You'd say I'm putting you on
But it's no joke
It's doing me harm, you know I can't sleep
I can't stop my brain, you know it's three weeks
I'm going insane
You know I'd give you everything I've got
for a little peace of mind ...

I didn't sleep well last night
It's 11:24 now and it's really caught up with me. Maybe some lunch would help...

LOL! I didn't. Clam chowder and grapes and lots of water.
I am feeling a little better now.

Unless I can get someone hired here, I am not sure I can continue with this schedule. Yes, another night where I am driving to Johnson City, working, coming through Greeneville, finishing up a project there and driving home.

I should get back by day break, then I can start all over again. I am at the verge of collapse.

I'm a quick learner :)

Um how much you pay? Benifits?

Good benefits; good pay.

In East TN, everyone who either wants to work or isn't smoking Meth has a job.

You're not well!
Good gosh, Chili, take some time off from work. You're tired, you have a broken leg, what more excuse do you need? Don't play it for all it's worth, but play it for at least half what it's worth. If the company won't back you on it, look for another company. Your health is worth more than a job.

Make sure the bugs don't get into the pork and beans at the food processing plant.

NS, I know, I think I am submitting myself to this crazy pace just to keep from going insane.

I have so much going on and somehow, working just seems to keep me occupied.

When I fall straight out, I know it will be too late.

None if you do your job right.

Some days, nothing seems to go right. I need a solo hike so bad right now I can't stand it. A week in the desert would bring me back with a new found purpose in life. It will be March before I can hike again and by then I will be spent.

"A week in the desert would bring me back with a new found purpose in life"

either that, or it may leave you as a dryed out, shriveld mummy in the desert sand.
How long does actually take to die of thirst? Can a man survive a week, 7 days...?
I hope you find your purpose though.

Well, on the last desert hike, I at least had the foresight to cache water, LOL.

Hey, Tango's out in the desert now. Maybe you should drop in and say "hi."

Chili, get your butt down here, I'll take you out to Big Bend and let you help me drain a couple of bottles of Crown.

mmmm...write a trip report if you find a new purpose in the desert. I might go there to search for it. I have lost mine somewhere along the way...don't even remember when that happened? When did that actually happen, mmmm...? Wasn't in a desert though...

Wasn't it Steve Martin in the "Jerk" that found his "special purpose in life"?

Maybe I need to go to the desert, see Tango, and find my purpose in life.

That sound pretty innocent, doesn't it?

the eternal search for our purpose in life...that's the core of all philosophy, isn't it?
Well, I go in search for dinner now, that's something more practical I can deal with. The content of my fridge is certainly less misterious, than the content of philosophy.

Yeah, when the only two things in the fridge are beer and bologna, it keeps things pretty simple.
