Mine is the exact same way (Unibody late 2008 built in 3rd week of 2009).

I have been thinking about taking it into the Apple store.

My battery also pretty much discharges completely overnight when the computer is asleep. Awful.

Both of you should take it to an Apple Store. That's not normal.

No worries-- I did not take it as sarcastic.

I guess life. Work has been extremely busy and other life issues. By the time I get a free hour or so the last thing I have been wanting to do is head to the mall to the Apple store.
