• I am soooo tired. I'm pushing 25 hours of no sleep at all. I haven't done this since high school. And it's not like before when the reason was going all over town all night with a bunch my buds for shits and giggles. No, I've been up since 11am yesterday morning because I got called in for work at midnight, before I had any chance to sleep. I don't work on big commercial jets or little charter planes. I'm proud to say I work on Medivacs, or Air Ambulances, because I can say, in a way, I help save lives. Because of this, we have to make sure that when a plane gets a snag, it's our job to get it back online as soon as possible. Therefore, aside from our regular 12 hour shifts, we are on-call. If a plane goes down in the middle of the night, we're called in to patch it up. That's what happened last night at exactly midnight. I had work the next day at 6am so I was trying to sleep early. But it was hot and I've been too cheap to buy a fan. The call came at 12am, my boss said one of our planes had some landing gear problems so get to the hanger in half an hour. I still hadn't gotten any sleep. This fix took us till lunch time today and I hit that 24 hour wall hard. So they sent me home. I still had work tomorrow and there was no way I should finish my shift which ends at 6. At this current state, I feel drunk and in no state to work on these machines. So now I'm home. Incredibly tired. But I'm not going to sleep. If I do, right now, I know I'll be waking up at 9 tonight, wide awake and won't be able to get a good night's sleep again. I'm going to force myself to stay up and at this rate, I'm gonna go at least 30 hours without sleep. It may not be a big deal but trust me, for me it is. I'm gonna go now, I can't think straight. I guess I'll turn on the XBOX360 or PS3 for some mindless entertainment. ____________________________________________________________________ "But Tonight We Dance" - Rise Against
