sleep deprivation

the only days i'm awake early in the morning are the days i never went to sleep?

i always like it when i realize that it's past midnight and it is an xkcd day. it usually makes my night. it's one of the funniest web comics ever. a perfect mix of sarcasm and nerd jokes. you should go check it out (and be sure to read the hover text for the comics).

I worked on a project a while back that never quite solidified into a clear design plan or development goals. This was my first real experience with "feature creep," or the tendency of a project to increase in scope and requirements beyond those originally foreseen. In this case, we were making changes to the project requirements up to the day before the product was released. Feature creep delayed the release by several weeks. Feature creep cost me six consecutive nights of sleep.

it's 7:00. i know this because my alarm clock is going off.

and i haven't been to bed yet.

i suck at this game.

haven't really slept since monday.

i'm going to bed.

in no particular order:

i focus my entire being on whatever ugly little mole pokes its head out. that's my nature. if i think about the other moles, i won't get to the current one before it's too late.

i beat one of 'em down, and another one appears. the quicker i whack one, the quicker the next shows up.

behind in school. behind in work... behind in pretty much everything, i think.

i don't even like to go to sleep anymore. it seems like i'm wasting time.

so that's my dilemma. how do i take my eye off the current problem long enough to think about what's coming next?

like a rock star.

my life = suck.

do you ever have something to do and not have enough time to do it. even if you don't sleep? at all? i've been up for almost forty hours straight. and i have about sixteen more to go.

should be a blast.

if you want to hear something entertaining, you should call me around noon tomorrow. and see firsthand the effects of sleep deprivation and increased stress on a fragile mind. it will be great!

farewell. i return to the insanity. see you in a few days when it's all over.

you know why thursday nights are the worst? it's because i get off work at eleven, come home and watch family guy and futurama, and then can't fall asleep. but the whole while i dread the coming of the morning. you see, after closing on thursday night, i have to open on friday morning.

and that's a terrible thing to do to a guy.
