To spend a day in public after not getting enough sleep the night before is awful. My buddies and I always call it "fighting the Z Monster." The reference being that "catching some z's" means getting some sleep and the "Z Monster" is the uncontrollable desire to fall asleep when you don't have enough. It can be life threatening in certain situations, (the drive back from Colorado every New Year's comes to mind, thank God for 5 Hour Energy and Starbucks...) but usually it's just damn embarrassing and pathetic. Buy your coworkers movie passes for covering for you. Everyone loves the movies when it's free.
I am blogging to you from the lovely Lone Star College-Victory Center Student Center. Across the desk from me, a student is face-down on the keyboard of his computer sleeping. I wonder what he did last night to miss out on the beauty of sleep? He was obviously fighting the Z Monster today, though. I would post a picture of him here, but that could piss him off if he saw me, and he's built like SF 49er linebacker. This is Acres Homes, gotcha watch yourself. I actually attend Lone Star College- CyFair, but this place is right across the street from my house.
Bottom line...Don't Ever Fight the Z Monster. It's a battle you can't win.
