Straight Edge Life

The rain is coming down really hard. It sounds good on the roof. My nerves are a bit wacky because I drank caffeine for the first time this week tonight. I’m going to be up all night. I’m not even sure if caffeine actually helps me stay awake or not, I think it’s just habit left over from college. Work will be keeping me up.

I need way more ram in my computer. I’ve spent most of tonight waiting for databases to index or tab delimited files to load. I figure if I had 6GB more ram I’d be spending way less time waiting.

Anyways… it feels good to spend the whole night alone just working. I feel pretty good about the project and my work is really appreciated by the client. Yeah it’s sort of boring, and the guy before me left the database in one serious mess. It’s a good job and I have no complaints besides the standard stuff that comes with any job.

Nights like this make me so calm. Just me, a keyboard and one very clearly focused goal. With the rain on the roof I can tune everything out and lose track of time. I love it.
