It’s actually quite comfortable

Hey, distracted spunk? I’m sorry. We were chatting yesterday and I just stopped replying and then disappeared offline. What happened? Oh well, I freakin’ fell asleep. At 3pm. At work. (Hey! It’s performance review time!)

When I’m tired, I have that fucked-up sleepy logic. I tell myself, Oh, I’ll just lay my head down for a few seconds then I’ll feel better. Then I fall into a low-grade coma. I was probably snoring too. For those that are interested, there’s like a 16-hour time difference between Seoul and Seattle.

When you think about it, traveling 16 hours into the future and then back again would make you pretty tired. How come time travelers never get jet lag? Someone needs to include this detail into the next time travel movie.

I woke up with a jolt, realized where I was and straightened myself out. Thirty seconds later, my roommate walks in like nothing has happened. I think he’s just come back from a meeting and wasn’t around to see my trip to Sleepytown. Also, I’m pretty sure I have lines on my face from resting my head on my arms.

Anyway, that was just a short update. I’m still working on sorting through all these damn vacation photos.

    Hahaha, that’s funny. When I used to work at the daycare, I’d occasionally take a 2 second nap with the kids.

    That’s almost the same, right?

    Heh.. I know what you mean about sleepy logic. When the clock hits 3pm I usually start nodding off at my desk. My logic tells me: nobody will notice if I just rest my head on my hands, they’ll think I’m working extra hard! :P

    It makes me tired just to switch back and forth between 2 hours… I can’t imagine 16.

    deutlich: There’s always the last resort of sleeping in the bathroom.

    poodlegoose: Aww! Kids are cute! :D

    katelin: You would be surprised. Just print off a long and boring document and blame it on that. People might empathize instead of accusing you of being hungover.

    Dennis: Yup. If it’s one thing either of us are guilty of, it is working too hard. :P

    Maxie: It’s not so bad. Takes me maybe 3 to 5 days to adjust back.

    Gyan: Hi! :D
