Sleep loos shoes geekery

Sleep: the part this blog is supposedly about:

Email brain was getting foggy so RantWoman knew TIME FOR BED. There was that alrm on the phone too. RantWoman THINKS her sleep total was over 5 hours with only about 45 minutes in a chair.

So keep working on the sleep routine.


Loos on the brain, not ENTIRELY free-associating

Woodstock. 50 years ago. RantWoman was 8 and in another part of the country.
Peace Camp: the 1980's. Massive ongoing anti-nuclear civil disobedience while also satisfying the state of NY about sanitation standards and enough places to pee for the anticipated croweds. Woodstock was the precedent cited by the state. Meeting sanitation standards is a good idea.
Various iterations of event usher and where is the bathroom and where is the men's room if the crowd is overwhelmingly but not exclusively female and the main floor restroom has been commandeered.
Operations research class about women and men and time in restroom and poisson distribution and how many stations needed to serve, expertise now generously donated...
Much data collection about wheelchair users, women of a certain age
Public Hygiene lets Us Stay Human phlush.org story recently on radio.
An ongoing email discussion about loo issues

Further Random geek points:


Blogger behaves much better with Chrome and screen reader than it does with Internet Explorer. Ain't ever-changing technology grand! And we won't even talk about the miracles of mobile technology even though RantWoman still spends a lot of time in ad-hoc accessibility testing.


Talk to people late at night?


RantWoman would ALWAYS pick up phone for an angelic troublemaker who had a sleep issue common to many people who are totally blind and have no external cues about diurnal cycles. The disorder is called non-24. It is definitely on RantWoman's glad to have only her own problems list.

More to the point, Angelic Troublemaker went and died a little over a year ago after a recurrence of cancer. Angelic Troublemake was wearing and attached to A LOT of hats. RantWoman is in the stream of people trying to fill her shoes / find the right shoes for this age. This is one of the streams of RantWoman life well fed even by, um,....

A Friend asked about a conversation at that hour. Sometimes, but that particular conversation will go better in daylight.
