It was the second day after the long weekend (4th of July Holiday). Everyone was expecting the BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) strike to begin today. The deadline for negotiotiations was midnight July 5th. For some reason, I woke up around 3am, so I turned on the TV, flipped through the local stations, and finally found a "ticker tape" message on channel 2, stating that an agreement had been reached and the strike was averted. TV off. Adjust alarm clock. Back to Sleep.
I guess I was only half-awake because I could have sworn I switched the TV off. Still I could faintly hear news reporters talking....maybe it was all in my head. I opened one eye and saw that the TV was indeed on. But I was half-asleep so I couldn't move (or maybe I didn't want to) so I just left it on.
It's been a horrible couple of weeks. I haven't been able to get any more than 4 or 5 hours of straight sleep a day. I always end up waking up at 2 or 3am. More often than not, I'm on my way to sleep between 11:30pm - 1:30am...that's between Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien's shows. Jay's great but over the years I've come to like Conan more and It'd be nice to see him earlier so I can doze off when it gets to the next show. I may get my wish since Conan is replacing Jay when he retires. I wonder who will cover Conan's spot?
Anyway....
