Must have drifted in from copyblogger. Anyways, for someone who fades in and out of erratic sleeping modes, you write very lucid prose. I have started blogging very recently. The hazards of a fulltime as also a inherent love for writing and reading makes me a zombie at most times. Lack of sleep and stressful work zones haunt me too. I can very well understand what it takes for you to blog regularly. Anyways you got a cool thing going here. Will be visting it regularly. Cheers.. Hi Tony,

I lived in Modena, Italy, and worked in the province at a Club (back then we called it a disco) as bartender. Started at 9PM stocking the bar and finished at 4AM by delivering the night's cash to the managers. Then I would drive home, study for a couple of hours, and go for a run. If I was lucky, I did not have class that morning. If not, I would get ready to take the train to Bologna to attend class at University. I was so poor that I could either purchase the train ticket or lunch and once in Bologna I would walk 2 miles from the station to class instead of taking a bus, which would save money. I ate lots of bread those days. Once I functioned (so to speak) for an entire week on a maximum of 1.5 hours of sleep per night. I know exactly what you're talking about when you share about moments of lucidity mixed in with moments of fuzziness. We had lots of earthquakes where I grew up and I mistook one of them for sleep deprivation. We didn’t have blogging back then, but I had school.

First heard about you when you filled in for Darren Rowse on Problogger. I'm a doctor and until last year I was doing my residency in ob/gyn which I love. When we moved to a different city I had to re-evaluate my priorities regarding work and family (married with 2 little boys). I decided to put my residency on hold until my kids are older because there are certain things in life that can't be recaptured once they're gone. Am looking for a clinic job with less erratic hours. Until then, I'm what my old head of department would call a "domestic engineer". I also have a blog where I blog somewhat erratically about women's health. I can definitely empathize with you because every 4 weeks I use to do 72 hour calls because my weekly call came just before my weekend call. I used to zip out when I could to check on my kids, not much fun for them or for me either for that matter (or for my husband, poor bloke). I used to feel quite coherent after the calls, but just a bit dissociated from the rest of the world for a while, like there's some kind of transparent veil between you and everybody else. Now I spend time reading about tech issues as well as huge medical textbooks! On a different note, people tend to think that stay-at-home moms have all the time in the world to blog e.t.c. IT IS NOT TRUE!!! But that's a story for another day and another blog. I'm really impressed by your discipline that pushes you to post after so much stress. I am definitely encouraged. Keep up it up and enjoy your well-deserved rest. Hi Tony. First heard about you when you filled in for Darren Rowse on Problogger.

Or maybe you could have talked about your ambiguous relationship with your best friend, who you also share another apartment with which includes a stuffed dead animal. At the very least, you could talk about the ever escalating catastrophes that happen right outside your hospital's door. Oh, and I'm a bit sleepy right now, so I won't be blogging tonight.
