This is bad. This is very bad.

You see the time? You know what time I start work in the mornings? (5:30) You know what time I usually go to sleep? (About 3 hours ago.) You know what that makes me? Screwed.

Basically, if I manage to hop in bed and fall asleep in the next 3 minutes, I will have MAXIMUM 4 hours sleep. If I try to tough it out and stay up, then I’ll end up being exhausted at 3 am.

Not to mention I feel guilty for calling out sick on Friday — I think that’s keeping me awake. I mean…I get 10 sick days a year. I never use more than 6. What kind of work ethic do I have if I feel crummy for staying home when I feel like crap? Actually, what kind of life ethic do I have?

OK…at least I have SOME idea as to what I’m wearing tomorrow. That’ll help.
