Overpowered...zzzzzzzzzzzzz
Eyelids as heavy as 'heavy' can be...a mind that refuses to think....a body that is
yearning to slump onto anything flat......yip, I am being swept up in the vortex of sleep,
but (and that's a big BUT) the sad part is, that I am at work!
In desperation, I bring in numbers to my rescue. I start counting all the tasks at hand ...task 1...task 2...task 3.....its not working, my mind is slipping back to where I tried pulling it from...Sigh !
But there's got to be a way out of this!I try to feel the heat of deadlines and the dire consequences I am bound to face if I don't comply..but no, nothing seems to lift me out of the depths that I am falling into.
Not so soon...I have yet another plan - I spring up from my chair, jerk it in place and walk
briskly to the restroom.Once in, I cup my hands under the gushing tap water and make a big
splash on my face.After repeating this a couple of times I look into the mirror and smile
triumphantly..this undeniably, will drive it all away.
I walk back to my cubicle ,sit upright and unlock my pc. I decide to give a fresh start to all that I was doing. Ironically, I start a new session with the ever awake and running unix server.My eyes begin to actively scan the code and as they move down the page ....oh no ..not again! I can feel my eyes begin to close and my mind just drifting away...
I give up! YAWN.....
