Bad sleeping schedule

The last two weeks or so have been bad for my sleeping schedule. I have been staying up later and later. To the point where I was staying up all night long. Then I would sleep here and there as I could through out the day. I am working Pullman Fire seven straight days. It makes it hard when I am at the office all night working on stuff to do my day job which important. Plus with the fact that I am hating what I am doing right now it makes it worse.

With all the work I have been doing in the ASP.NET and SQL I really like it so far and I hope that soon we will be able to start to build our new stuff and get it going. I will like to do that stuff. This continuous fixing of things that are written in a googolplex of standards makes life difficult. Not that I have not learned a lot, but at the same time it gets old.

So after going to bed around three in the morning and getting up and nine I was pretty tried with the fact that I did not have a lot of sleep all weekend anyhow. A little afternoon I decided to take a nap. I slept until around five. That is when I got an IM back from Jon about the problem I was having with the QCThunder site where the update of a textarea was not working. It was a PEBKAC problem. Wow, I have not used that word in a long time. Pretty much I was saying on page_load to set that textarea to a specific value. But that would wipe out my changes. I needed to wrap the page_load in a check to see if it was a postback. I put in the necessary code and it worked. Then after I got up I went to station two for vehicle checks. But Travis was already there and gone and had them done. I did not know that though when I was down there. So I was watching some TV with Tony while I was waiting for Travis. Then a call came out. He came down and that is when I found out that he had already had done the checks.

I watched some more TV after the call. Then I went to my office and I was able to get help with the other problem I had been working on where I was trying to find the username of the person who was logged in. I was able to get that solved and now I am off to the races again. There is one other thing I need to deal with and that is making paging work for the blog entries. I am going to have to spend some time on that to get it to work. I know what I need to do. It will have a fair amount of work involved.

Tom from Palousitics is back form his two week vacation. He said one of my entries about the City of Seattle suing the makers of shower heads that put out too much water had been picked up by a NorthWest blog site that displays blog entries and news stories from various sources around the NorthWest. I thought that was pretty darn cool.
