The witty banter of insomniacs.
Lets hear a little. I am stuck in a hotel room because my job flew me out to Oakland on a surprise assignment and I can't sleep.

Yes, it's all about me isn't it?

:nopity:

2. Insomnia is
the only way to live, especially if it means that ...
well, it has to mean something - why else would it be so entertaining(not great word choice, but hey, what do you expect from an insomniac)?

7. I was at the sports bar here watching the game earlier...
...I was the only Laker fan in a bar full of "we were kings fans and now we are fans of whoever is playing the Lakers" fans. Needless to say, I left a little early.

12. No, I wish they were. We are so shortstaffed right now it's awful.
And there is a hiring freeze to boot. Rebounding economy my fucking ass, they just laid off a bunch more people...

14. That's kind of weird.
You're short staffed, and laying off people? And you have a hiring freeze? What the heck kinda company are you in?

15. Don't forget:
Time Zone differences (I'm Eastern US). But I think it could be considered insomnia even at about 2-3 AM. It all just depends upon what has to be done the next day, and when you have to get up to do those things
