sleep deprived

3AM

And I wake up

Again….

I am getting really frustrated with this. I am sleeping so little that it's starting to affect my life. Not only did I actually fall asleep on the train, I got kicked because I was snoring.

I've given up staring at the ceiling for the evening and decided to update my blog.

So, Austria was quite pretty. I did work 8 consecutive days for very long hours, but Saturday, I was waiting for things to run, and was able to actually see some stuff. One of my colleagues who is French, but lives in Austria, and speaks the Austrian dialect of German, took me around to see some stuff. Without her, I would have probably just wandered around lost. So, that was great. Dealing with the customer situation there was pretty tough. But, I think things are stable there now. And folks seem to be fairly happy with me. I hope so – I missed Thanksgiving for that! (Though my colleague got me goose for my Thanksgiving dinner, which was righteously cool.)

Of course, I forgot my camera. And my camera phone really is crap. So, no pics…

The thing that sucks worse is that, upon returning, I had to drop by work on the way home this past Monday afternoon. Then, I was supposed to work from home Tuesday, and take Wednesday and Thursday off to make up for the weekend I'd worked through. Of course, half way through Wednesday I was asked to do something else, which took up most of those two days. So, I really didn't get any time off to recover.

Oh, and I am doing this on my laptop because my desktop died Wednesday as well.

Yeah, things kinda suck right now. But, at least I don't have to go to Norway on this upcoming Monday. :-) (I almost got sent there for another customer.)
