Insomnia

Going from backs to fronts is always an adventure. I was scheduled to work through Thursday night, but got the night off because the machine I was supposed to be working on is on a scheduled down with no electrical work. I could have gone to sleep at about 2, but felt obligated to stay up as I was technically on call. I play a little poker and some Counterstrike. Before I know it it's 9am and I'm tired as hell. I decided to stay awake as long as I possibly can before taking a nap, then hopefully getting a good night's sleep. I finally crash out at around noon, for about two hours. Perfect.

Then I hop on and play some FFXI, finally getting around to working on some COP missions with the linkshell. That's done at 12:30 and I'm not at all tired. So I play some poker, and that lasts until around 3. I still can't sleep. So I write out my latest "Life's addiction" chapter (much of which I had jotted down on paper while at work), taking me to, well, about now. Problem 1 is that I'm wide awake, problem 2 is that I know that around 10:00 I'm going to crash, and be completely back on a backs schedule. Time for try #2. At least I have until Tuesday morning to turn around.
