Flashback
Something I wrote in an email on February 1, 2005, while I was working in San Francisco:
beep
What a cruddy evening it was... I was dinking around on my other PC, still working on getting functional sound, and broke all kinds of other stuff. So I fixed that,
beep
mostly, and went to bed. I'd barely fallen to sleep, when
beep
the power went out.
If I was asleep, then how did I know the power went out? you
beep
ask...
Let's just say that living in a studio apartment with an
beep
uninterruptible power supply (UPS) can
beep
be a frustrating experience. When the UPS detects
beep
that the power is out, it sounds an
beep
alarm. If the power is on and
beep
beep
off, or off for a long time, the alarm can
beep
become quite bothersome. In my particular case, since the UPS sits across the
beep
room from my bed, it was impossible to get
beep
away from the noise!
Needless to say, I slept
beep
poorly... right up until my other alarm went off...
doot which doot I doot didn't doot quite doot sleep doot right doot through doot.
Nevertheless, my cellphone rang blip just as I was once again blip falling into blip a deeper slumber blip. I had to answer blip it, of course blip, as I'm anally retentive blip that way... It was my dad, blip complaining about the blip PC I sent back to him yesterday blip with Jan blip. Apparently, it's blip still not working blip properly.
So if I seem a little groggy today, that's why :-(
It's just as well, though, as the phone ringing awakened me enough for me to realize that it was time to go to work...
