I sleep just to dream him
June 14, 2004
Maybe I've been reading too much of Jim Norton's blog, but I have the odd urge to tell you all about the various strippers I've had to Saran Wrap my room before meeting.
I wish!
At least that would insinuate that my life is relaxing enough that I may enjoy a stripper or two. Or at least that I had enough money for strippers. Or at least I was getting some.
Damn.
Well, this has been a delightful post so far, hasn't it?
So, I'm sitting here at work, trying desperately to keep my damn eyes open.
I swear, this is it, people.
Let it not be said that I didn't warn humanity that my breaking point was upon us.
And not Bring Your Sniper Rifle to Work Day breaking point, or even Bring Your Sniper Rifle to the Clock Tower Day.
I'm talking Willow-like, Apokalypse, Streets Red With The Blood Of the Innocent breaking point.
I can't sleep all day, because the people who mow the lawn of my apartment complex like to have contests wherein they see who can ran their lawn mower into the outside of my room the hardest.
Then by the time I have to go to work, I'm so fucking tired, that I consider running my car into oncoming traffic, just because maybe I could get some shut-eye in the ambulance or while waiting for the jaws of life.
*sigh*
Posts about strippers putting fingers in your ass are much more exciting than ones about being sleepy.
Just move along, people.
Nothing to see here.

Sorry to hear about the sleep disturbances. Hardest thing about solving it is that the solutions can be almost as bad as the lack of sleep, especially for someone who already has sleep problems. White noise generators annoy alot of folks rather than helping them sleep; ear plugs or headphones can be uncomfortable not to mention blocking out the alarm; and drugs of any sort can put you into a world of groggy so deep that even when you wake up you really aren't awake. About the only thing I can think of that might really help is if you put up a sound buffer between your bed and the outside wall, whether is be a piece of heavy fabric or a screen. I know you like the job so hopefully something can be done so you can get some rest.

I wrap a body pillow around my head like a turban.
It keeps the noise out, but I know I'm going to suffocate myself any day now.

Oh, for Christ's sake.
If you have to do a little dance that night shift sucks, do it.
I knew it would suck, but I don't have much choice in the matter.
I'm just telling the world what sucks right now about my life.
If you want me to say "OH, WOE IS ME, WHY DID I NOT LISTEN TO THE OPINIONS OF THE INTERNET AND TELL MY JOB THAT I QUIT, CONSIDERING NIGHT SHIFT WAS THE ONLY OPTION AVAILABLE TO ME? I SHOULD HAVE GONE BACK TO EAT N PARK, WHY OH, WHY DON'T I DO EVERYTHING EVERYONE SAYS?"
Then there you have it.
Now, come ON.
You KNOW I'm going to be bitchier when I'm sleepy.

I would reccommend the sound baffle idea. Guy I know has an amazing speaker setup in his apartment, but the neighbors always complained about the noise, so he took some cheap-o used matresses, and some closed cell packing foam and built a wall against that side of his place, and bam, no more noise complaints.
1) Remember, no matter what the stripper tells you, there is no sex in the champagne room,
2) If you find someone already willing to strip for you, or 2b) you get someone drunk enough, free stripping is bound to occur at some point

I read something about these Japanese designed sleep-rooms that are becoming quite the phenomina in Japan these days. Supposedly, anyone who steps into the room, free of distraction, would fall asleep in less than 30 minutes, no matter what their level of "sleepiness" before they entered the room.
It was somewhere on slashdot, just do a search or something -- word of warning, these rooms are like 30k each, but I mean, if you worked a good few years, doing the graveyard thing, at least you could buy yourself a decent night of shuteye.
Then again, you could just save up and check yourself into a hotel room one day or something. They're typically pretty quiet, too.

Jim Norton got kicked off Last Comic Standing, im guessing by the same people that thought Dat Phan was a great comic.
