littlestream, I was on AM shift today. But the BIG
(*&@#*()^[email protected]# PROBLEM is, that for this whole week, they've put
me on what we term the 'P-A-P' shift, ie. AM, PM, AM, PM, AM...
like that! 
It's the worst kind of
shift to be put on because when you're PM, you officially end at
2130 hrs (but you often leave later), reach home at about 2300 hrs
or so, shower, then realise you can't sleep at all until 0200-0230
hrs. And then, your alarm clock rings at 0500 hrs and you find it a
royal pain-in-the-unmentionables struggle to lift up your arm to
stop the alarm ... and it rings every 5 mins and sometimes, you
stop it, other times, you didn't even realise you've let it ring
continuously for goodness knows how long! 
Finally,
you draaaaaaaaaag yourself out of bed, like a zombie, and can't
even recall how you did it but you managed to get yourself to work.
And you're still asleep 'up there'. And you can't even see clearly
because your eyes are still 'asleep' and hasn't and won't adjust to
your contact lenses until later in the day, around 1030 - 1100 hrs,
then finally, the 'blurred layer' of vision gets lifted.
It's like that... sleep-depravity for nights on end. I've been
surviving on 3-4 hours' sleep for the past week already... I'm a
zombie!! 
That's why today, I wanna go out gai gai, but buay sai... because
the spirit is willing, but the flesh, bones, muscles, tendons,
organs, blood, brain, and all else, oh yeah, forgot about the 36L
of water inside me plus the fat, is morosely lethargic and flat-out
fatigued!
