A long time ago I was pulled over and had to do a breathilizer test. I'd told the cop that I only had a couple of drinks all night. He said that "a couple of drinks can still impair your judgment." I replied to him, "Yeah, and so can being tired." Somehow I didn't end up with a fine for technically lipping him off.
It's totally true though. And further to that, you know how they always say, "don't drink and dial"? As in, don't call anyone when you're drunk, particularly ex's and people from your past with whom you have a particular beef that you suddenly and urgently need closure on. With the advent of technology, it can be said that 'drinking and emailing' or 'drinking and texting' are also big no-no's.
I will stick with my response to the cop in saying that being tired and doing the same is also a big no-no. I did NOT sleep last night. As a result I'm so fricken tired I can hardly breathe. In this compromised state (lack of sleep plus lack of O2) I sent off this crazy-ass rambling email to someone I hardly know. There has been no response yet and of course I must think the worst. I've been banned from yet another person's contact list.
In the midst of all this, I went to email someone else and stopped myself. No no no. Judgment impaired: Do not, I repeat, DO NOT PRESS 'SEND'.

what were you up to that you didn't get to bed... I mean, to sleep?>
I was in bed by midnight and lay there for 3 hours, brain on overdrive. I had a decaf coffee at about 8pm that I suspect was not decaf after all.
At this point the reasons why are irrelevant. The situation remains.
It shall be a very very LOOOONG day. And I have a meeting with my supervisor in an hour where I'll be required to think. Wish me luck.
The reasons are irrelevant? Those that do not learn from history are in danger of repeating it!
