Sleepless rewards

I hope this isn't a trend for the year ahead.

Imagine it... You go to bed at around 11:30 last night. At 12:30 you are still awake so you read a little and then try again. At 1:30 you get up to have a glass of milk and watch TV. There's nothing on so you're in bed again soon after. It's approaching 4am and you're still awake. Life sucks. You decide to sleep on the couch... a short time later you finally fall asleep.

The lesson you learn? Counting sheep doesn't work.

But... you're a smart man... knowing you'll probably feel life crap on 3.5 hours sleep, and unknowingly stop your alarm in the morning, your uncomfortable sleep on the couch rouses you in plenty of time to get to work.

Luckily, you sound A HEAP worse then you feel.

So you work at Crows Nest and decide to stop around 1pm cause you've had gut full.

The ray of light in your day? You got a $70 gift card from work for being the 2nd best water meter reader in the final quarter of 2008. You also get to go to the cricket tomorrow.

Maybe 2009 isn't all doom and gloom...
