July 31, 2000 — Sleep deprivation catches up

What a spiteful body I've been cursed with. I had to actually leave work early because I was so sick today. I had my mom pick me up in Kanata and I promptly crashed upon arriving at home. It was brutal.

Unfortunately for my body, I've four projects that I need to have completed by the end of next week whether it likes it or not, so it's just making it worse for both of us. Maybe I ought to get a few more piercings to get the damn thing back in line...

Now that you're all confident that I'm suffering from at least a couple psychological conditions, we'll move on. So I went home early, a new keyboard for my iMac in tow. I'm going to get a new desk if I can get my room cleaned to make space for it. I need a good workstation at home for when the Bran Van 3000 coding extravaganza begins. Cleaning my room is not going to be fun, but it has been a long time coming, as anyone who has seen my room will tell you.

This weekend, I'm probably going to pull at least one or two all-nighters at work. I have so much to get finished that this might be the only way. It's actually not that bad sleeping under a desk, especially if you find a co-workers ObusForme chair-thingy and use it as a pillow.

And on that note, I'm going to sleep. Only ten more days, both to get off my braces and to be finished with work. I'll start keeping a tally of physical problems these ten days end up causing.
