Why hath slumber forsaken me

I have officially royally screwed up my sleep schedule. Its not the first time I have done this, and it certainly wont be the last. I generally operate through the entire school year running on 4 hours sleep per night. When I don’t have a reason to be up I sleep in. When I sleep in I stay up later. Let that happen for a couple nights and all of a sudden I am lying awake until 7am and cursing at the sandman, waiting for him to show up so I can snap his sleep dust sprinkling neck.

Breaking a messed up sleep schedule is never fun either. It will either involve oversleeping or under sleeping. At this point under sleeping seems easiest. I could set my alarm and get up early tomorrow. I tried that earlier this week, and woke up 3 hours later than I had intended, my alarmclock blinking after having had every button pressed in search of the “shut off that god awful racket” button as I flailed around still more than half entrenched in the dreamworld. Maybe I should just accept it, and start doing productive things at night instead of rolling around counting sheep.

Well, I guess I wasn’t entirely unproductive last night. I did some more online job hunting. I sent off a couple more resumes with nothing back yet. It wasn’t until today I found a job ad which I got a response from. There was a nanny agency looking to have their website maintained for $9 an hour from home on an as-needed basis. I have spoken to the guy who runs the show over there and he seems pretty cool, and my web development skills far surpass what is needed of me. It wont be my summer job, but it will be easy spending money from the comfort of my own home after a hard day at my yet to be determined summer job. Plus relevant experience for my resume as well as a reference if I play my cards right.

Works for me.
