For the third night in a row, I'm the Directorate of Logistics duty officer at the Redstone Arsenal operations center on the night (6:00PM to 7:00AM) shift. I've been promised that some other person will get stuck with this duty have an opportunity to excel in this job for Sunday night and probably Monday. It's kind of like a critically necessary job, but I've had just 9 hours of sleep since last Thursday morning. The problem is that I don't have anyone else to do stuff for me like making food-like things and waiting in line for gas and going looking for ice, so that part of the time when I really ought to be sleeping I'm engaged in necessary life-support activity.
I'm coping, but my eyesockets feel like they're lined with sandpaper.
