VITA BREVIS

I hate working at night. It's so lonely. It also makes you feel silly knowing that half the world is sleeping while you burn your butt off trying to finish reports, or following up on several cases and stuff.

From my right, I can see one colleague of mine dozing off. In a few minutes, I can forsee that he'd be slipping off of his chair and onto the floor.

I'm downing mugs upon mugs of warm water to keep me awake. Coffee has no effect on me and yesterday, the espresso I had with my Chef's salad gave me chest congestion. Not ordinary palpitations, mind you. Congestion. I had to take a sublingual quick.

Sigh.

Things one does to advance a "career". Vita brevis. Life is too short. I badly need one.
