four august ninety eight one p m crisis euphoria I'm getting that hyperactive feeling which always comes after resolving a crisis. Sometimes it takes a stiff deadline or a near-disaster to get my blood pumping. I think that if I had an alarm clock which somehow managed to scare the snot out of me every morning, I'd be a lot more perky, and I'd probably get to work on time more often too. On the rare mornings when something has jolted me out of bed - once it was a car hitting our house just below our bedroom window, but that's another story - I've been able to ride the adrenalin for most of the day. Anyway, once I solve a crisis, I still have the high energy level left over, so I get a lot accomplished if I can work fast. Right now I'm looking around, itching for things to fix, but I know it won't last, because soon I'm going to get something to eat, and the soporific effect of the food will cancel out the head-rush entirely. The only good thing is that I came to work half-asleep, following a harsh night (emergency web project until 1:30, then insomnia), and now, after coffee and a crisis, I feel alive and awake. Drastic, eh? © columbine |
