You know your body's biological clock is screwed up when your facial hair grows not at night but in the afternoon. Think my current sleeping habits are a little wierd. I sleep 3-4 hours at night, take a few 1 hour naps over the day, and sleep about 2 hours when I reach home. So in a way I do meet my quota of 8 hours regular (or irregular in this case) sleep. Except that it's spread out over the day. Can you say sloth (the animal, not the sin)?

So we met our new branch head (aka the boss) today. Just about everybody's telling us the same thing - he's very nice, except that he's a little on the garang side. Now this poses some problems for us. If it's somebody who's nasty, we can always screw him up by taking a million years to finish a task, or perform a task way below standard or something like that. After all we're just lowly underpaid NSFs. Who's gonna blame us?

But he's nice, and we like to reciprocate kindness. And yet on the other hand, he's so garang that he wants to revamp the way our new branch works, and in the process give us even more responsibilities. Better use the next few weeks to "test the waters" and see just how far he can be pushed.
