Fighting sleep: A Losing Battle

ODG. How dull can things get? From an application developer to a glorified HR assistant. After my first project, which was a great success as far as my previous projects in my former company was concerned, I came back to the office, with nothing on the agenda save for Facebook, Twitter and Gmail. I welcomed the short vacation I got last week, but starting this week, I'm the newest addition to a team managing employee assignments.

So it's with a bored-out-of-this-universe sensation that I'm starting to gloss over spreadsheets, taking note of where resources are going, and working a bit longer. My daily activities while I'm in my adjustment stage consist mainly of pixel counting, trying to stay awake, and pretending to be working by opening my mail (which I've done for what feels like the 947th time today).

Tomorrow, there will be a change of environment, so I hope that'll provide some distraction. My eyebags are bigger than a Persian war elephant at the moment and the eyes they're covering are drooping with every key I press. At least it's almost 4pm and I'm on the last few hours of this boring routine. Unfortunately, my body isn't cooperating in the slightest. I feel like slumping on the floor and snoring in the middle of the room (I wonder what'll happen if I do that).
