TAN 201: Yanti races Ironman JaTAN (Page 71)

HowHowHow do you function? My Dad is like this - only requires 5ish hours of sleep. This gene did not get passed down to me. Last night I slept approximately 11 hours. It was glorious. I usually only need 9.

You're just jealous.

Cool news on the new phone call!

A good friend of mine is a complete foodie. It quite literally is who she is.  So much so that she got into food sales with U.S. Foodservice doing food sales to pubs & restaurants.  She found that she HATED it because while she was around food, it was schlepping frozen meats and low-grade bar slop.

She recently got into a new gig doing sales for an advertising company; just trying to get companies to advertise through them (similar to Google AdSense)... and she LOVES it and feels like she has found what she was meant to do.

The difference is simply that she now has a product, company, and team that she can stand behind and feel proud of.

Just $0.02 of blathering on perspective, maybe.  

Any chance your background in biochem helps you in the current gig and maybe could help open doors for the new gig?

Yes.  Yes I am.

Pie hole. It's PIE HOLE.

Did someone say pie? Tis the season for my favorite: pumpkin!

I use pie as a DELICIOUS remark! Mmm pie.
I made a low-carb pumpkin cheesecake a few weeks ago. Homemade wHHHiped cream and all.

All this talk of pie and sleep makes me want both!

Did you just say wHHHip?  That's so derogatory.  

Home... no, stuck at work with nose to the grindstone.

Crack that wHHip! 

Pie should always be full carb, if not extra carb.  It's PIE for fachs sake!

11 hours, and you work for 8, ok Salaried 9, plus commute.  What do you do besides sleep and work?  :-)

Seriously - I work 12-14 hours a day in our busy season and sometimes my brain turns on at 2:00 a,m. and doesn't really shut off.  I don't function well some days and I am the grouchy old &%*$^# man that runs the manufacturing plant and people know what days those are.  Usually they are rare, but during busy season, I worry about making shipments and how I am going to make it from raw material to finished goods in the time I have in the day.  Then I try to work on my metal art and learn new songs for the band in my spare time.

Me too!!! Very jealous.  I can't tell you the last time I got 8 hours of sleep.  Let alone 8 hours of sleep with no interruptions.

I know I am way behind on the conversations.  This WORK thing keeps getting in the way.

PIE  - no thanks

M&M cookies - hell yeah

Well normally I sleep 9 hours - from 10 p.m.-ish to 7 a.m-ish. Work 8:30-5 and my commute is 10 minutes each way. 
So from 5:15 to 10 is nearly 5 hours of free time. I imagine I spend it like a lot of us, an hour or two of training, cook/eat dinner, straighten up the house, hang with the boyfriend, catch a TV show if there is nothing else going on. Sometimes dinner out, or a kids school event, local concert or movie. Not a bad life!

who only works 8 hours a day?  i'm jealous of THAT!

Meeeeeeeee. I'm not allowed to work more. If I do, I am required to flex out the time within a week.
