Should I stay or should I go?
Aug. 19th, 2011 08:55 pmI'm trying to figure out why I took two naps today.
The first really wasn't a nap. Although my eyes were closed, I don't recall losing consciousness; after 40 minutes, I got up. The second time, I did doze off for a while.
I'm hoping this is an anomaly, related to the fact that I've not been sleeping well.
But there I go, starting to sound like a Cantankerous Old Guy™, yapping about all the stuff that's near and dear and closer to the end of its service life than the beginning.
Sorry 'bout that.
* * * I actually ended up translating a shade over 3,000 words for the day, which is a wholly respectable number under normal circumstances. And according to a seat-of-the-pants spreadsheet I wrote to track my progress on the 40K Job, I am about 3/4 of a day behind schedule.
And since I have more slack than that when it comes to my actual deadline (and since my project manager said she'd see about extending that deadline as a quid pro quo for helping out on a mad rush earlier in the week), I should still be in pretty good shape.
I need to lighten up. That, and get a good night's sleep.
Cheers...
