I’m a little overwhelmed today. I’m tired but trying to stay awake till 8. I want to try to get a regular sleep schedule but if I go to bed too early I will wake up early and then it will just compound from there. Getting enough sleep is one thing, waking up too early is another.

Right now when I wake up I feel bad if I just sit here. I’d prefer to wake up and get ready with only enough time left to go to the train and ride into work. Sitting around for too long might lull me into a false sense of security and I’d miss a train and get to work later. I wouldn’t get in trouble but it would throw my day off.

I have figured a few things out in the past few hours. It’s an interesting task when you try to dig deeper and and locate that one tiny thing which seems to put the final pieces in clear view. I am not saying that things are that close, but at least they can be seen with a little more clarity.

I am going to write a little when I get home. I need to step completely away from work before the release tonight to see the big picture. I know that at least twice today I was working on autopilot while testing. It is a good thing and a bad one since you sometimes miss the beauty of a tree while running through the forest. Sometimes you just don’t have the time to look at every tree, but it’s better to inspect a few than to ignore them.

This morning I woke up with a bad feeling. It was part because I was feeling sick and partly because I felt that something weird was going to happen at work. I was right about he work part today was unusually busy and I judged a few people incorrectly. I won’t make that mistake again.

I think that people generally hope for the best but sometimes they over plan for the worst. I would much rather plan for the worst and then hope that things never reach that far.

One type of waiting that no one should have to deal with

Today’s post comes a little early than usual. I like to wait till later as it adds a nice wrap up on the end of the day. However, today is a day that is very strange. My building has 8 units and only one washer and one dryer. That means if someone decides to wash every piece of clothing they own on the same day that you have to wash a load. You get stuck waiting. Now sure I could be a jerk and remove their clothes that have been sitting in the washer long after the cycle has finished, but that would just cause tensions to rise a bit.

I mean first off I don’t know who they are. And I don’t know how they would react to something like this. So it’s better if I wait. But this really throws a damper on the day.

Tonight I am staying up late. I don’t mean all night or even past midnight. I actually mean just another a few hours. It’s later than I have stayed up in the past few weeks. I need to get myself ready for another deployment on Monday that will need to be some after ten pm. This means I need to be able to stay up till at least eleven so that I can test things appropriately.

It also means being able to get up and go to work the next day. So I need to he my body ready for it. A little preparation will go a long way.
