All Work and No Sleep Makes Me A Crazy Girl

Posted: 2009-01-16 07:28:42

I've recently been on a project at work that has had me working long (and over) nights, weekends, and in the last week, I've had a stretch of 36 hours where I did not leave work and got less than 3 hours of sleep. I have now had my first shower at work, and was forced to go buy clean underthings in the middle of the day so I had something fresh to change into after the shower.

That said, I haven't had a ton of sleep in the last two weeks. I was *almost* caught up on Monday, after getting in some 30 hours of shut-eye over the weekend, but then immediately dove headlong into the week. My body finally gave out on me on Wednesday, and I started getting a cold. The project ramped down around the same time, so I'm back to working shorter shifts (especially since I had over 30 hours in for the week by the end of Wednesday).

Last night, in spite of the fact that I could have used the sleep, I went to the 331 Club to watch my co-worker's roommate play a set. I really enjoyed the music and had a really good time. It was a sort of spur of the moment decision, and my lack of sleep probably played into why I agreed to go, but it was nice to get past the moment of social awkwardness ("is she just inviting me to be nice??') and go. If you're into folk music at all, or just need something really relaxing to listen to, check out Brianna Lane.
