How I know it’s time for me to take a break from work
Posted in Work on 08/14/2008 10:10 pm by enjanerdI had a dream last night and I was reviewing my coworker’s work. And then I had to discuss my comments with our group VP. That was it. I wasted my precious sleep time working more.
I sat down at my desk to work and didn’t fall asleep, but lost about 10 minutes. Staring. At nothing. I think my brain is revolting against me.
I’m collaborating and getting along with coworkers. They were so nice to work with after some of the people I met a few weeks ago… and yet, something must have changed after all my rants. Is it reasonable to assume they’re not as incompetent as I thought they were? Have I successfully lowered my expectations to achievable levels? Am I getting dumber? Did I turn nice? The part that worries me is that I don’t even know which of these possibilities is more likely. I mean, it’s probably more likely that I go insane before I’m nice. But it’s not out of the realm of possibilities.
I was reading an agenda today that had an item extending from 23:30-24:30, then 24:30-25:00. And it took me at least 3 passes through reading those items to figure out why they looked wrong.
