I was telling Erin earlier today that the worst moment of one's day is the specific moment during which you recognize that you're not going home tonight.
The blame for that misguided statement has to lie with how long it's been since I've pulled an all-nighter or two.
The worst moment isn't a moment at all - it's that long drawn-out process of actually living through your newly proven recognition.

Edit: Hmm ... so is it good or bad when you realize that you actually can go home, because you're blocked waiting for somebody that isn't around?
Posted by Nick at January 28, 2004 03:04 AM | TrackBackNo, no, you've got it all wrong. If you're going to sit there all night suffering, you're supposed to call the person you're blocked on and insist that they come in immediately. :)
Then again, I've never pulled an all-nighter and work and never intend to, so what do I know? :)

Clearly I've been unemployed too long--my mind was...not exactly in the office. :-)
Posted by: Laura at January 28, 2004 04:19 PMHeh ... and I hadn't even thought about the possibility of any other connotations until I read your comment.
Seems equally clear that I've been single for too long. :P
