Casa De Morrill

After spending the past week in mostly a sleep-deprived haze, here’s a summary of my thoughts:

- Spending only two days on 2nd shift, which is 2 - 10 (or sometimes around midnight)pm, is just about the worst thing I can do to my body, especially when I have to go back to first shift (7am - 4pm) the very next day. This is the whole reason I’m sleep-deprived right now and have been for 3 straight days.

- After working until ~11pm for two nights, when you get home, your body is not ready to go to sleep at a decent hour. Yeah, so this may be a “duh” thing for most people who’ve had sleep recently, but this was a shock to me when I tried to go to sleep at 8pm on Wednesday and my body wouldn’t let me sleep until almost 11:30pm.

- Sugar Free Red Bull and regular Red Bull is my god right now. That stuff kept my head at least up if not completely alert during work this week.

- I will never again schedule two design inspections (software) on the same week in which the before mentioned sleep-deprivation occurs.

- It’s amazing how much work I can do in a week and not remember one minute of it the second I leave work. Heck, for that matter, I can’t remember it 5 minutes later. Thankfully, I didn’t touch code all week.

- The weekend is the most wonderful thing in the world at this exact moment, although the Guiness I had a few hours ago was also very nice (and the couple sips of various whiskeys that I got).

Sleeeeeeeeep………
