That went even more poorly than I thought

[mousme]

I ended up accidentally turning off my alarm clock, or perhaps I forgot to set it. Either way, I slept all the way through to 16:45, exactly forty-five minutes before I had to leave for work.

Oops.

Every single time I'm on night shift I delude myself with the thought that I can be productive during the day. Every single time I prove myself wrong. Think I'll learn next time?

Perhaps I should review all my LJ posts from previous night shifts every time to remind myself that I am useless when working nights.

The apartment hasn't deteriorated, but it has stagnated. Perhaps next week I'll be able to make further headway.

Yeesh.

Before going home (and to bed) today, I must stop off at my parents' place to collect the mail and make sure their plants don't die of dehydration. I haven't been in over a week, so I hope they're still relatively okay.

Don't be hard on yourself for not being productive when you're doing night shift duty. Few people are productive with a messed up sleep schedule. Human beings naturally sleep at night, and anything outside of that natural routine is disruptive. I speak from (lots of) experience. (Heck---people can actually go insane from lack of proper sleep.)
Hang in there!
