I must not be getting enough sleep lately. I don’t feel all that tired; the main symptoms are increasing moments of gross stupidity. Yesterday it only showed up in email: first I informed a list I manage that they could elect not to be included in the membership list, only to find that that capability is a casuality of the eGoups/Yahoo! merger. An easy mistake, but an intelligent person would have checked her facts *before* passing them on to 300+ others for whom she is Listmum.
Next, on the same list, I corrected someone’s post on Jane Austen characters, only to realize that he was right and I was confusing Sense and Sensibility with Persuasion. Lucky for me, it’s an amazingly polite list.
Today, I called the local helpline, not once but twice to complain I couldn’t log in this morning. At the end of the first call, I realize my network cable had gotten unplugged. Tried again to log in, got a message saying my password was wrong when I knew I had typed it correctly, called in again, and realized in the middle of that call that I had changed the password yesterday.
Woke up with a sinus headache too, either another symptom of lack of sleep or harbinger of another sinus infection that more sleep would help to fight off. Unfortunately, I probably won’t get to catch up this evening, since I’ve got a work dinner to go to, and then I have to pack to fly out to Long Beach tomorrow. (Don’t expect any entries this weekend.)
*sigh*
If I could redo my undergraduate years, this time getting enough sleep, I could probably graduate cum laude.
