Get Yer Sleep On!

Man, I can't stress the importance of getting a good night sleep to help you keep your shit together. I had decided that since I hate the concept of work so much, and the increasing surreality that has been occuring as a result of the new full-time schedule, that I would willingly take on the daily working avatar of the Hunter-Gatherer. Go into work with sharp eyes, do the job in front of me, be a member of the productive collective, and do my part to bring home the digital bison. Unfortunately, I woke up yesterday with what felt like no rest and I just couldn't get it together all day long, and my productivity yesterday sucked. To top it off, as I was headed out the door to guitar class, my boss got a call, and I heard the dreaded words, "Don't let Plattner go." But I swapped out my time with another worker and took off. Head filled with cognitive dissonance, I told said worker that I would call as soon as class was over and that I would come back to pick up the slack and work the late hours if needed, but he dodged that bullet too.

Cognitive dissonance, what I believed to be my responsibility as a responsible person, over personal desire not to have pay yet again for a class I missed. No conclusion, just story and a reminder to get your sleep.
