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

    The time that you're most awake and alert? Right before you become a parent.

    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.
