sleepless night

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Every other night since my ouster, I've not slept. Makes it a bit hard to work on resumes, respond to offers of assistance in a meaningful way, etc.

In one conversation I've had in the past couple of days, we got on to the effects of low oxygen on the human brain. I couldn't help but notice that they sound an awful lot like certain workplace environments. Here's what happens when the oxygen level's reduced from its normal 20%:

12–15%: Increased pulse rate and respiration, impaired perception and judgment.

Hmmmm.

Happily, I had an invitation from a friend to go head over to his place for a drink or two after dinner.

Some people see things that are and ask, Why? Some people dream of things that never were and ask, Why not? Some people have to go to work and don't have time for all that shit.
