Wroking late Gary
Something I noticed this weekend, in my sleep deprived state, was that my IM discussions change as I get more tired. At first, I'm forth coming with valid information. Then, as the night goes on, I stop giving information, and I become a bit short with all my answers, and aggravated at the work. If the work continues on past a certain breaking point, then I find it all funny and start making abstract references and jokes about things that make no sense. Yet at that point, I feel I've hit a certain Zen, and all the world is funny. There are no more aggravations at that point, except when hunger strikes...
For those of you out there that can relate, onward into battle we ride, sleepy, groggy, ornery, and invincible.
