Here I am, its 339am. Waiting on the dang call to start back up. While I sit here struggling to stay awake, I decided the blog might keep me entertained just enough. For those that have not heard me whine about it yet, this is day 2 of an all nighter "lets be on the phone with out team in India from 1130pm until 7am" call. Doesn't that sound like fun! My boss and the evil one are in India so we (that would be me and David that I work with and a few others)are having to be on the calls. All of the calls. The never ending blah blah blah calls. You know like Peppermint Patty from Peanuts. It all sounds the same and runs together. The 11.5 hour difference is not OK, it sucks. Big time. But its 2 nights and I will suffer through. And complain a bit. Are you feeling sorry for me yet? I have not just been working India time but also US time. I have slept 5.5 hours in the last 36 or so. Which will be 48 before this is all over. You ever been on a conference call with 10-12 people on the other end and everyone trying to talk over each other with accents and a normal desk phone? OMG, its impossible. Sounds like everyone is talking with marbles in their mouths. Not that I would rather be there in person, cause I absolutely would not. As a matter of fact, I am thinking this is one of the trips that I might have lost my job over. I just have no desire what so ever to ever go to India or Malaysia or Panama, well lets be honest. I have no desire to go to any country outside of the US. Its not just India, its just India this week cause its my arch enemy. I am not biased or prejudiced, I just don't want to go anywhere. Is that so wrong? Call starting, let me go try to pay attention.
440am - fading fast people. I mean fast. I have tried ice cream, ice water, gum, standing, sitting, its working but in much shorter chucks of time. Every once in a while someone asks me a question that wakes me up. Surely this can't go on much longer, I can do this. I can damnit.
ok 520am and the call is ending. Praise the LORD! You know its bad when you fall asleep with ice in your mouth. I am going to bed, I have never wanted to lay in my bed more. Rich is taking JT to school, so I can sleep. I don't know what I would have done if this was going on for another day. So good night India, and no you are still not my friend.
Sleep tight!
