Oh well I've now discovered what the long term effect has been of withdrawing access at work to any and all social media or chat sites: I'm falling asleep!!! Yep, I'm becoming like my fellow team members and succumbing to the lure of The Sandman now I no longer have Twitter and sundry to keep my mind occupied on quiet nights.
It's really kicked in the last couple of shifts and I've found it almost impossible to stay awake. I've even fallen asleep when I've been sitting up straight trying my best not too so moment it put my head back and deliberately close my eyes, even for a second, I'm doomed to slip immediate into the arms of Morpheus.
It's weird because since 2004 when I started nights I've never, unlike others, gone to sleep at anytime during my shift but now, now the precedent has been set, I'm as bad as everyone else. The even weirder thing about doing this is that it doesn't seem to make one any less tired; no, on the contrary I'd say that, when I get home, I feel even more tired than I usually do. It seems that writing a blog entry like this one does appear to have a countervailing effect but if that's the case I'm gonna have to go back to writing nightly and having to think of something to write. It was hard enough before when I could write about the kid's activities but they have now reached those ages where I rarely get told was it is they have been up to. I'll have to quiz Nat for more details relating to his weeks work experience and Hannah about what she actually does at these Youth Council meetings she attends. It's also gonna be a struggle getting back into a routine of writing a thousand words cos this little narrative has stretched to a mere 321 in total… Unless, of course, I now decide to exercise my creative juices and simply write whatever comes into my head so as to stretch out this moderately wordy missive until I reach a certain n umber of words and can reclassify it as a rather wordy missive if not a lengthy one. Unfortunately, this project is somewhat hampered now as we have started taking calls and that interferes with ones chain of thought and just then lead me, additionally, to accidently terminate the caller as I was distracted by what I'd been trying to type. Oh well still managed to stretch this to a more acceptable 427 words.
