Nom. Also, I get rewarded for all the overtime.

Occasionally at work I find myself actively fantasizing about what I'm going to have for dinner. Distressingly, this can start the moment I roll out of the warehouse some days, meaning I spend 8-10 hours dreaming of food. Today, it was visions of an Italian sausage sandwich that was plaguing me. One 11-hour day later, I make it home and bring my fantasy to tasty, tasty life. Along with the utterly awesome Cheddar and a Corona, it was divine.

In other self-fulfillment news, I have finally ditched the old crappy keyboard in favor of a new, much cooler one. A Logitech MK300 wireless keyboard and mouse. Far more "click" than the old keyboard, I like the mouse, and it has a function key I already adore that opens the calculator.

Because the driver whose route I've been covering in addition to my own did not make it back from Mexico yet; I worked yet another 11 hour day. So I'm going to bed now. But I did put in my time off request for Renovation before leaving for the day. Yes, I make vacation requests a year in advance.

My new (non-wireless) keyboard has the calculator key, too. Love it. And the volume up/down and pause buttons. And Back and Forward, below the space bar. It's too quiet, though; I've been using clicky-sounding keyboards for, um, 28 years now, and this is just strange.

Also, *envy* - now you've got me jonesing for an Italian sausage sub, with grilled onions and peppers. Not going out into the heat to get anything tonight, though; 's been too hot to eat for days. Supposed to get nicely cool tonight and only go up into the 70s tomorrow, thank ghods.

Heck, I made my vacation request for Nippon 2007 fifteen months in advance. My director said, "You don't have enough days in your account to do that."

I replied, "Look at the year on the request."

"Oh. Okay."

Since I tend to schedule my life around Worldcons, I can make my vacation requests two or more years in advance if they'd let me do it. They prefer me not to request more than twelve months out precisely because of things like the above, but in that case I really needed to pin down the days I could be away so I could make other arrangements like airlines and hotels.

I really like the Logitech keyboards and mice, I must say...

For years I was able to say.

1 week around 4th of July.
2 weeks around Labor Day.

Then Worldcon dates started moving around...
