The surest sign that I'm staying up later: I keep having to push my anti-virus start time back. Earlier in the semester, it was scheduled to fire at 1:00 AM, when I'd normally be off the computer. A month ago I pushed that back to 2:00 AM. I just cancelled it a couple minutes ago, as I did last night. 3:00 AM may be the new target very soon.
Meanwhile, I've driven the fear of losing text into myself so hard that after I finished the previous paragraph I hit ctrl-s. A reminder: I'm typing this in an Internet Explorer text box. IE doesn't like ctrl-s. It makes it beep.
The saddest thing: I just went to do it AGAIN after the last paragraph, without even thinking about what I'm doing. At least I'll never lose an important paper.
Yes, I did it again.
This time I was thinking about it, so the double carriage return was not followed by the trip to the bottom left of the keyboard.
Fascinatin', ain't I?
