INSOMNIATIC CONSEQUENCES

I decided to stay up late Thursday night to go over my final presentation. I stayed up until 3am, fine tuning and revising. I managed to get an earlier flight out of Atlanta for Friday immediately after sessions were over. Woke up around 7am. A bit groggy, but four hours of sleep is better than none...Or so I thought.

Get down to the session hall. Did presentation. Nailed it. Started to feel sleepy. I'll keep myself busy by working on reports that are due when I return to the office. Get out my car keys. My flash disk is attached to it. Plug it into the laptop. Worked on reports for 15 minutes. Starting to fall asleep. Lunch time. I grab a plate of food and head back to session hall. I'm too tired to socialize. Start working on reports again. Three hours later, sessions over. Pack my laptop up and place car keys in laptop bag. Rushing to get to front of hotel to catch shuttle. We're given small bags of snack food for our flights. Rushing to get out of there. I place my cell phone in the snack bag. I'm so exhausted, I feel like I'm drunk. People are asking for my business card. I take out the items in my laptop pocket, looking for my business cards. The shuttle is here. Grab my pulley, laptop bag, purse and hop in the shuttle. Snoring. Get to the airport. A man grabs my pulley for curbside check-in. I follow him to the desk. Pull out my e-ticket from the laptop pocket. He asks to see my ID. Can't find purse. Where's my purse? Maybe I put it in my pulley. I don't need it anyway. I'm tired. Wait in terminal E-28. Snoring. Waiting to board. Pull out laptop to finish reports. Can't find car keys. Where are my car keys? Should call hotel to check lost and found. Where's my cell phone? I put it in the snack bag. Where's the snack bag? I left it at the hotel. Maybe it's in my pulley. Wait till I get to Oakland. Get on plane. Can't sleep, worried about car keys. Get to Oakland. Get pulley. Check pulley for purse. Back from Atlanta with no car keys, no cell phone, no purse, no reports. No sleep.
