I was up til 4am last night working. I lost my work couple of times because Flash would crash on me.

We’re basically trying to wrap up everything in the next couple of days. Hopefully everything will be back to normal starting next week. I hope. I still need to pack for our trip to MTAC this weekend. So much to do.

If you listen very carefully, you can hear my brain screaming.

I need to head back to work.

Take your time, Hawk. Do your project right, not fast. We’ll all just amuse ourselves by spamming up the forums. :p

Man can scream in other orifices than his mouth. Beans, beans the musical fruit.

Similar story Hawk, my boss has been working on a side project and came up to the office last night at 4 am to retrieve his G5 mac filled with editing software and raw footage. what does he do because he’s exhausted? He accidently dropped it on hard concrete! now he’s sorting out the pieces and screwed up the rear. :) So, don’t be hauling your hardware around at those hours if you have to keep pulling all nighters or you might end up like him. Although i seriously doubt you will, because he’s a flippin idiot.
sorry for the long post, just thought you’d like to know other people are sharing your crazy hours :)

really suggest you take up Zen meditation. if you don’t i’ll put you in a straightjacket and gorilla glue(they have those at Home Depot, really, REALLY strong)you to the floor.

Or there’s the foolproof one. Find a nice, quiet corner somewhere, and clear your mind…take a couple deep breaths….and then scream.

Works like a charm! Really!

I usually skip the part about finding a quiet corner first. :p

powernaps. scientifically proven that 20 minute naps every two hours can have a similar effect to a full nights rest for around ten days. beyond that you start going bonkers, really. not the fun way either. so yeah. powernaps with power book.

“flash kept crashing on me”
Get a PC! =P (I don’t think that made sense)

Sorry if the joke wasn’t appropriate, but I hope the hectic times get over soon!

You probably shouldn’t say “get a pc” on applegeeks.com.

Too bad I’ll be in Knoxville while you’re at MTAC! I’ve never missed one, and this isI going to be the first one. I’m so upset now. I wouldn’t have procrastinated hardcore had I known you were coming.

I feel your pain (I’ve had that happen to me). My animation instructor used to randomly call out “saaave!” during class to try to prevent that. *hugs are for you!*

Hmmm…poking at Hawk’s Mac when he’s tired and overworked. Doesn’t seem like a good idea to me.

Hey. I saw you guys at MTAC. I didn’t really say anything on account of not really anything to say, but I did get an autographed pic of Hawk with the M&M. I was also at the webcomic panel, which was good. Just wanted to say thanks for coming to Tennessee and MTAC.
