I had ZERO sleep today. Does that make me....

[underpants]

beat? You're darn tootin' it does.

My wife had a 6:30 flight this morning to Salt Lake City (we is working there the next two weeks coming home for the weekend) so we planned to leave at ~4 AM. Well I went to bed at about 8:30 last night after getting up at 7 AM on a Sunday morning but I woke up at midnight. I laid there for an hour and finally got out of bed at 1 AM and went into the living room to read thinking that might make me sleepy, no luck.

So the alarms go off at 3 AM and we finally got out the door at 4:30-got to the airport around 5 and I got back home at 5:15. I wasn't tired so I made some coffee and started flipping around the TV channels. At 6:30 I regretted it as I was getting tired. I laid down and just laid there for another hour-at 7:30 the alarm went off again and I made my way into work at 8:30 (on time).


Now I am out of gas but I found out I have to go to a Quality Leadership meeting at 3 PM -just what I need a freakin' meeting.

I can't go home and crash or I will be in a vicious cycle and become nocturnal (see how this all ties back into the Lounge today?) so I am going to jack myself up on coffee and try to make it until at least 9PM.

Ugh I hate this.

1. You're old. If you fall asleep when you get home, you'll sleep til

tomorrow.

I know. I'm old, too. Once I'm sleep-deprived, I can sleep for 12 hours at a time.

3. Gee thanks

Really no really I appreciate it.

:silly:

No I will sleep for 8 hours from whenever I go to sleep. That is about it unless I have been on a wild weekend with the guys and then MAYBE.

6. Well, then, keep yourself up with porn.

8. my understanding is that it's somewhere, here, on the interweb.

But I can't be sure.

2. Oh, geez, that's a terrible state to be in

Too tired to function, but forced to do so anyway. Well, hang on. You've only got a few hours to go.

4. Sleep when you're tired, eat when you're hungry

ignore the clock.

5. Odd you should say that

That usually is one of my mottos but this is different. I am most worried about volunteering the rest of the week at Kerry HQ here in Richmond.

11. Sounds like you've read some D. C. Dennett eom

[pagerbear]

12. Don't know the reference. Please educate me.

[pauliedangerously]

13. My pleasure

Dennett, Daniel C.
"Darwin's Dangerous Idea"
1995

Sorry I can't give you a page number, but he has a really neat discussion (among hundreds of other neat ones) about the difference between numbers and numerals, different numbering systems, and the arbitrariness of numerals vs. the objectivity of numbers.

It's a fantastic read. Lots of references to Dawkins, Gould, Chomsky, etc...if you're into that sort of thing.
