My body clock is in practical-joker mood once again. On Saturday I thought it would make a nice change to go to bed sober and not have to deal with a hangover the next morning; so I did that, and for some reason woke up feeling sufficiently groggy and ucky that I'm not convinced a hangover would have been noticeably worse. (So perhaps I should have got drunk, if it wasn't going to make my morning any worse…) And this morning I woke up an hour or so early, thought a nice light doze would round out the night's sleep just right, and next thing I know the alarm is squawking in my ear and it turns out I'd fallen totally asleep again. Arrgh.

Saturday night was a bit odd, as well. On Friday I'd been in the pub helping [livejournal.com profile] cjwatson celebrate no longer working at Zeus, and between about four or five of us we'd organised a video evening for Saturday. When it came to it, as it turned out, only Becky showed up. Not sure where everyone else went. Ho hum. Still, unlike a party, a video evening has no minimum attendance requirement, so Becky and I quite cheerfully watched videos on our own. Bit of a letdown though; if I'd known in advance that almost nobody was going to bother turning up I might have cancelled and tried to muster the energy to go to [livejournal.com profile] angua's gathering instead. Oh well.

(Becky had brought the video of Signs, acquired by means of a rental voucher, which we decided to watch because neither of us had seen it before. The general verdict was that it was a good job she hadn't paid any money to see it…)

At work we just had our quarterly results presentation. Normally I lightly doze through this, since it's full of figures I honestly don't care about and people asking complex financial questions I don't understand; but this time, to my surprise, during the question period I found myself almost sticking my hand up to ask a question. Arrgh, I thought, what am I becoming?

That said, if I'd asked it it would have been a terribly socialist question about the happiness of the employees, and would have rather broken the profit-profit-profit mood set by all the other questions that were asked, so perhaps it doesn't indicate anything too alarming about me :-)
