I've been working too much. Working for 15-17 hours a day. Mostly sitting in front of computers or servers. Sure, I've been able to carry on conversations at work. I didn't think there was nothing wrong with me. The only thing I was suffering from is lack of sleep. Thinking of whom to fire, how to deliver the news... all that stressful thingy made me put in an awkward place. I was supposed to work today but I decided not to as I was tired. So I met a friend of mine to have lunch and walked around in the most familiar discrict of Tokyo,
Shinjuku. I didn't even realize dealing with computers for a long time would do something crazy on myself until I started talking to friends. .... I thought everything was alright. It had been awhile since I talked to somebody who is not worked related. The problem was that it was
damn hard to come up with certain words to describe things. I mean I didn't know how to express things I wanted to say. I had to pause for awhile to remember how to say them. I thought I became anomia... I was less emotional and was like a robot... However, a frined of mine was very patient to wait for me to finish sentences. I could get back on track and came up with appropriate words. Wow. It was very shocking and the most interesting impact I had never experienced. I learnt it by myself that personal interactions are very important. Thank God, I am back to human life. I had to make sure I am able to carry on conversations by calling some friends after.. Don't spend too much on a computer! I now understand why weekends /time offs are important. Now, for the first time this week, I am feeling the invincible drowsiness... I am happy. :-) Please, please to have a fantabulous weekend for yourself. :-)
glad to hear that you've finally taken some time off for yourself! i always make sure that i take a break every day, even if i'm super busy. i know it gets me behind in the work, but i'd just become an emotional wreck otherwise.
enjoy your weekend!
Ehehe glad that you are getting tired! ;p
But i'm surprised that working like that egt you to forget your words and all... must be all the codes and lines! I blame them! >.
I can only imagine though on how you struggle with those words... seriously have no idea how it would be! ^^;
Oh btw, thanks for visiting and even commenting on my blog! :D
Yay! Shigeki's feeling drowsy! On anybody else's blog, celebrating someone's sleepiness would be fudging weird, but not on yours!
You seem to communicate fine on your blog though...perhaps you don't have to think so much in english? How long does it take for you to complete a post anyway?
Hi Raph,
Thank you! That's a great policy that you take a break no matter how busy you are. :-) I think I am going to do the same. :-) However, I have never been an emotional wreck unless I watch Schindler's list once again.... But psychological effect is definitely observed when you are fatigued. so I can see you could be that. Take good care of yourself! Don't work too hard on your paper!
Hi Chris,
I know!! I freaked out when it happened.. I have no idea why but it did indeed happen to me. One more interesting point was I was less emotional meaning I hardly smiled or got mad. That's plain weird. Anyway, I act like a human right now. :-) Aren't you polite? I love getting to know many people so your blog is a part of that mission. :-) You have a good Sunday!
Hi Will,
Thakeee! Hehehe, I guess I have to know how sleepy I can get. However, I am a light sleeper in the first place so I am hoping I could get back to the life I used to have. I will see about that. Well, It's not English or Japanese. When I type things on my computer including writing e-mails, blogging, and chat, I can function normally and can express feelings I want to say. however, when it came to the verbal communication in a real life, I had so many problems... So I guess doing things on a computer as communicating is very very different from talking to somebody in real life.. I usually take 10-15 minutes for my post when I don't have to do Flash animation and all. :-) You have a fantastic evening!
