Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

So last night I was in the middle of a bunch of stupid cases and I looked up to see that it was 3 in the morning. Now, as much as I can avoid sleep, I really do need it, so I figured what I was working on could wait til I was awake and coherent. Boy was that a bad idea.

I always wondered what'd happen if I left work behind instead of finishing it to sleep. I convinced myself every time this has come up before that it wouldn't take long, finish it now, work on something else tomorrow, right? Well, turns out this is what I should always do.

I signed off last night, leaving a case unresolved for later, and went to bed. Except I didn't sleep, no, I lay around for two hours staring at the ceiling and thinking about this particular case, guesstimating all of the work I would have to do, calculating how much time it would take me, how many notes I'd have to make, how much tracking I'd need to do, etc, etc, etc. When I finally did drift off, I dreamed about it, about having to ban this or that user, having to undo this or that trade, having to restore this or that to this or that person. Then I woke up extra early so I could finish the case.

Yes folks, I have a problem and that problem is not Gaia. No folks, my problem is an obsessive personality. Somebody shoot me now.
