random ramblings of a crazed nerd

Well the reason for that title? So I can hire someone and not have the classic symptoms of insomnia (well sorta) I laugh at medical sites, not to say they can’t be helpful, but they also describe something so well, you instantly think you can have it - however with Insomnia, I don’t have all of the symptoms, though folks have recently with my sleep schedule (still awake btw) folks are concerned I have it.

Even though I can see the sun rising outside my window here at 7am, most of the time I don’t have the associated symptoms - for instance not so much on the poor concentration - my brain tends to be one of the reasons I am awake,  maybe should read “over concentration” there’s also decreased alertness and performance - but if I am up, it’s usually server related, and I seem pretty alert to me, or at the very least my brain can auto-pilot me to where I need to be.

The only one I can agree to is “An over-emotional state (tense, worried, irritable, and depressed)” - I know when I am really tired when this happens, and lately it’s rare as I get a lot of decent sleep, just maybe not at the normal times all of you would get sleep - I mean most folks try to sleep at night, I sleep during the day, and with summer coming, that may again be an issue, as with summer I tend to sleep through the heat of the day, and work through the cool of the night (ah California weather!) - but I do know when it’s been a LONG couple of nights, that the over-emotional state is there, thankfully I have some friends/family online odd hours too who are good to chat with both IM and Telephone who are a voice of reason.

So who knows - but if anyone wants to donate 30-40k a year to help me hire a secondary tech to be on-call, by all means let me know and I’ll tell you where you can send the check Till then, this is Chuck, going to bed.
