I've been up for 24 hours.

[BlondieK143]

Ask me anything because I'm getting a little loopy and still have 3 hours until I can sleep!

[unhappycamper]

1. Whachadoin that requires 27 straight hours?

[BlondieK143]

2. I'm working.

Well, I worked 6:30-12 yesterday, had to go back from 2-4 for a meeting, went to see WOTW, then came in at 11 last night to work until 9:30 this morning. :( ugh.

[unhappycamper]

6. I can't remembah the last time I stayed up 24 straight.

But then again, I'm old........ lol

[BlondieK143]

7. LOL!

Nah, you're not old. :) I'd gladly trade places with ya.

[In_The_Wind]

3. will you be able to catch some sleep soon

[BlondieK143]

4. Not until 10.

Then I have to suffer. Have to pick papaw up at the doctor at 4 (I think) so I don't even get to sleep that long. Oh well. :shrug:

[In_The_Wind]

11. I'm sorry BK !

it's a difficult time for you

:hug:

[BlondieK143]

12. Thanks Joan.

I appreciate it, a lot! I'm trying to stay positive and go about things as they are (especially around my Nana). It's just not that easy. The movie did take my mind off of it though. :)

[In_The_Wind]

26. keep on keeping on sweetie ... sometimes that's the best thing we can do

I'll be thinking good thoughts for you as I go about my day.

lucky me ... I 'm going on a rock-buying trip (for business) today ... another 1/2 hour past Boston ... the road warrior rides again :evilgrin: I'm out there!

[BlondieK143]

33. Thank you!

Have a safe trip and an awesome weekend!

[Skittles]

5. I do that at least once a week

chronic insomniac; sometimes I give up and skip sleep entirely

[BlondieK143]

8. It wouldn't be so bad

if I wasn't so stressed and I had slept the rest of the week.

And I'm sorry to hear about your insomnia! That seriously sucks!

[Skittles]

9. I'm sorta used to it

there are perks - imagine having 3 or 4 extra hours in your day, every day.

[BlondieK143]

10. That's true, but are you fully functionable?

I mean, doesn't your brain slow down when you don't get enough sleep?

[Skittles]

17. it's half and half, I think

I actually become wired from lack of sleep and think faster; however, I act impulsively a lot and do not always make the best decisions, ya know?

[BlondieK143]

18. That makes quite a bit of sense.

Do you tend to sleep a lot the next day after you've been up for a long time?

[Skittles]

28. no........see, that's the problem

I simply do not get tired on a 24 hour schedule - for example, whereas after a hard day most people get tired at 10 or 11 PM, I would not get tired enough to actually fall asleep until say noon the next day. I have a terrible time falling asleep and if the slightest sound wakes me up I am up for good, even if it is after only three or four hours. I have never been capable of napping. Ambien helps regulate my sleep patterns somewhat (meaning I acutally sleep some every day) but as soon as I'm off it I lapse back to my old patterns.

[BlondieK143]

30. Oh wow, I'm so sorry!

Have you tried going to the doctor for medicine?

[Skittles]

41. aw thank B but I do alright I suppose

I have high anxieties right now because I was told at work a couple of days ago I need to fly to Philly 07/06 and work 12 hours nights for two weeks straight while living in a hotel. I can see myself now pacing back and forth in my room trying to figure out what to do!
:o Got me some Ambien but still, if I can't sleep on a normal schedule imagine how it will be on a f***ed up one like that!

[BlondieK143]

47. Holy crap!

Man, I hope everything works out for the best! I know how hard it is (obviously) to do work shifts like that. Just take care of yourself!

[ghostsofgiants]

21. Yeah, I do that a lot as well

Insomnia sucks.

[ghostsofgiants]

13. I've been up for around 20

I think. I've kinda lost track of time.

[BlondieK143]

14. Hey, you should've kept me company.

:)

[ghostsofgiants]

15. Haha, I should have

Not like I've been doing anything even remotely productive.

[BlondieK143]

16. me either!

i've been amusing myself with movies, that's about it.

[ghostsofgiants]

19. I watched an assload of Black Books

Hilarious show. But I finished off all three seasons (only six episodes per season, because the Brits are weird like that) and now I'm back to square one.

[BlondieK143]

20. Never even heard of it.

What channel does it come on?

[ghostsofgiants]

23. I don't know if it even aired over here

I downloaded it. Absolutely hilarious.

http://www.tv.com/black-books/show/5108/summary.html

[BlondieK143]

25. I might have to check it out sometime.

Thanks for the link.

[ghostsofgiants]

27. If you have a bittorrent client, you can download all three seasons at...

mininova.org

That's where I got it.

And you're welcome. :)

[BlondieK143]

29. I have no clue what that is.

:D

[ghostsofgiants]

34. Poor, poor girl

Haha, I couldn't survive without bittorrent. It's "a peer-to-peer file distribution tool".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent

I use the Azureus client. Good stuff.

[BlondieK143]

37. Still have no clue.

But I'll just nod my head and smile.

[ghostsofgiants]

39. Haha, okay

I'll stop pestering you with my nerdiness now.

[Brewman_Jax]

22. Are you almost done?

:hi: sounds like it's time to go home. Have some

[BlondieK143]

24. One more hour.

Then a 30 minute drive. Ugh. I don't like coffee, but I'm tempted to take you up on that offer!

[Brewman_Jax]

53. Still loopy?

have you put your shoes on before your socks? :D If you haven't, you aren't that loopy...yet. :P

[BlondieK143]

55. Actually, i'm wearing flip flops.

:D So it's not an issue. I'm loopy to the point where it's taking me a few minutes to type. lol

[Brewman_Jax]

56. Really?

at least you don't have to worry about tieing your shoes. Is it time to go yet?

[BlondieK143]

57. 30 more minutes.

then a 30 minute drive. But YOU have a wonderful day! :hug:

[Brewman_Jax]

59. You can do eet!

[Brewman_Jax]

60. And then

:boring:

[Yit]

31. Do you put your pants

on two legs at a time?

[BlondieK143]

32. LOL!

No, but I know some weird guy that does. :D

[ghostsofgiants]

35. I'm not weird!

[BlondieK143]

36. You do that too??

Sheesh!

[ghostsofgiants]

38. Haha, yes

It's so much more efficient.

[BlondieK143]

40. Seems complicated to me.

:shrug: And you're not pestering me. lol

[ghostsofgiants]

42. It's not at all

You install the client, go to a website, click a link, it downloads. Simple as that.

[BlondieK143]

45. No, not that!

I was talking about pants. :)

[ghostsofgiants]

50. Haha, yeah, I thought about that after

That's what sleep deprivation will do to me. I do it whilst sitting down. Just slide them straight on.

[BlondieK143]

54. Well, that makes more sense

than jumping into them (which is what I thought in my sleep deprived state). lol

[ghostsofgiants]

58. Hahaha

Sleep deprivation is fun...at first anyway.

[ghostsofgiants]

44. Wait...

Are we talking about pants or bittorrent?

[Yit]

46. What wierdo

would do that?

[BlondieK143]

49. Well I know someone who

CLAIMS to do that. :P

[Yit]

51. Fuggin' freak!

You should report that person to the CIA.

[BlondieK143]

52. Nah.

He's not that important anyway. :P

[Yit]

61. No but

He could be a problem down the road. He could potentially hurt the cause.

[Mutley]

43. That sucks.

I say cut out early and go get some :boring:

[BlondieK143]

48. I wish I could!

My boss has other ideas though. :(
