PermaMonday
October 27th, 2009 Posted in Life As A Nico
Looking back over my past year of blogging, give or take some months, I realize that I say I’m busy a lot, and only recently have stopped apologizing for it. Apologizing to whom? you say, because you know how to use the word whom. I was probably apologizing to myself. This is a blog, after all.
To the matter at hand, I am what I believe people call a “workaholic”, because I get “drunk” on “workohol.”
In the distant future, when I look back on this period in my life, will I be considering it “that time in my life I was busting my ass”?
If many nights are like the one I’m having currently, then the answer is “yes.”
Every once in a while, I skip sleep to get work done. I’m doing that tonight. It’s around 4:30 AM where I am. Interestingly, I do not feel all that burned out quite yet, and I hope that stating such will not jinx the hard part: the next day.
What I’ve noticed that is different about tonight, however, is that my all-nighter is a carry-over from a Monday. I don’t think I really know this sensation as of yet. Mondays kick my ass just like any other office worker, but to have it not end is an entirely different brain state than working for a couple of days and then pulling an all-nighter.
We’ll probably have to see how bad the effect is on a human by the time the Monday doppelganger known as my Tuesday rolls around. I have a suspicion that it will not be fantastic.
A case of the Mondays? I’ve got a whole damn industrial refrigerator full of it.
Yowza. You make me want to be able to give you a nap. All wrapped up with blankets and waterfall sounds.
Good luck getting through today – I'm around for entertaining chats if you'd like :)
A never ending Monday does not sound like fun. Hopefully Tuesday behaves and treats you awesome. It better balance everything out.
I love you and your grammar geek ways.
Please don't die. Or hurt yourself irreparably. Or really, hurt yourself at all. That's all I ask.
And you know me. I'm around if you need company to keep you awake.
Although I don't have a job like you, I still find Mondays to be not the best days. In fact I like the end of the week than the beginning.
I haven't done an all-nighter in a while. New albums used to get me through them; couldn't just zone it out because I hadn't heard them before. Hope your Tuesday's been as easy as possible.
If you hurt yourself, I'm coming out there to kill you. ;) Good luck and godspeed.
Take it easy man, don't push yourself too hard.
Glad to see you got the Twitter widget working by the way!
I don't know how you do it man. For serious.
To me, that is the worst part about all nighters. Not the exhaustion or that jittery feeling, but the lack of a mental break between the days. I hope you're still going strong on Wednesday!
I know the feeling so well, and when you're in the zone it's cool, and you can even fake it the next late night too if it's something you're totally into, but it's that 3rd or 4th day that I find myself dropping my keys, or slamming the car door on my scarf, or that stuff.
Sleep it up on the w/e (which means don't be the only one haunting your house late Saturday night!)
