You would think that after 24 years on this planet we call Earth, that I would have learned that I cannot function on less than 2 hours of sleep after being awake for 24 hours the day before. Or even just only getting 2 hours of sleep. Apparently I have not learned this very valuable life lesson because here I sit at work unable to function or speak in proper sentences and definitely unable to do my job.
It was worth staying up. I had a good time and wouldn't have traded that time for a couple extra hours of sleep. But I am definitely hurting for sleep now. The level of exhaustion that I am at right now is painful. My whole body aches, I feel like I am going to vomit, I'm away but my brain is in jumbles. The quad shot of espresso that I drank when I got here has not helped at all. I want more espresso but I know that it will only make me jittery. I think I will have some more when I go back up after my 10 is over. More espresso just sounds like a good idea. Maybe another quad shot!!
When I got to work, I was definitely pulling it together, but as the day has worn on, I have gone on a downward spiral. I even put iced coffee into someone's hot decaf coffee earlier and had to remake the whole drink. On several occasions, my coworker has told me that I need to just go home because I am a mess. I feel like a zombie. Let's just hope that exhaustion is not the first step towards eating other humans' brains. I already know that I wouldn't do well with that outcome.
I definitely need to learn when to say goodbye to whoever I am hanging out with so that I may get some much needed rest. But my social life has no time if it isn't happening when I should be sleeping. I will just have to try to make up for it tonight. Hopefully all goes well. Although I will most likely want to go to the gym early tomorrow morning. So I doubt I will be getting much sleep. Oh well. You win some, you lose some.
