Musings of an anxious Insomniac

What happens when you wake up at 2:30 in the morning craving a turkey sandwich with swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, and mustard on slightly toasted 7-grain bread?

Normally, you go into the kitchen and knock it out. If you're me, you lie in bed hoping to fall back asleep until you come to terms with the fact that that's not going to happen anytime soon. So you roll out of bed and head into the kitchen for that sandwich, right? No. You don't. Because there is no turkey or swiss cheese in there. Is the store open at 3 am?? Probably not... So, if you're me, you putz around wasting time on your computer until you're so tired your body has no choice but to pass out from sheer exhaustion. Great success!! (Sorry, I just saw Borat for the first time yesterday.)

Insomniac Activity Checklist (bonus game: see if you can follow the strange meanderings of my mind...) :
-Fantasy baseball and football lineups updated and ready for the coming days? Done.
-Scrutinized every single player available on the free agent waiver wire? Yep.

-Figured out how you're supposed to get all this experience they want you to have for these jobs if you have to have the experience to get the job to get the experience??? Nope.
-Thought about applying to jobs in Chicago, Iowa, Idaho, Florida, Arkansas, New York, Decatur, Philadelphia, and Miami? Yep.
-Considered a career change? YES.
-Pulled up nytimes.com in a weak attempt to be "intellectual"? Check.

Some days you eat the bar...
And some days, the bar, well, he eats you.
