    I'm most awake during lunch time. Before and after I'm like one of the apes wondering what that big black box thingy is.

    I'm supposed to be wide awake, right now. So I guess that's why I had to read each question a dozen times before I gave up on ever being able processing a complete sentance again, and clicked on the first number I could recognize (after vainly trying to remember how a drop box works).

    Being tired at work is *good*. Give the man your worst hours. Keep the good hours for yourself.

  13. Parents don't need to guess this... by pedantic+bore · · Score: 5, Funny
    The time that you're most awake and alert? Right before you become a parent.

    About 72 hours after the arrival of my first child, I was more tired than I'd ever been in my life. Just when things were starting to improve, a few years later, along came the second.

    At this point, I'm not even making the interest payments on my sleep debt, and the Sandman keeps threatening to send his goons around to beat the rest of it out of me.
