First off, I couldn't sleep last night. I've jokingly stated that insomnia should be my thing, but I never thought that it was possible to lie awake for 3 hours straight just trying to sleep three hours? you might wonder, but why is she complaining because she had to wait three hours to sleep? that should still leave about five hours right? Wrong. I tried staying awake till I was tired, and I got tired at 4 in the morning! Then, I couldn't sleep.... Turns out, it's possible. So now I'm at work without sleeping last night. And the problem is, the other secretary is home sick, meaning that I have to manage the work of two full time employees, in half a day since I said I couldn't stay the whole day and she's likely to be sick a week.
In short, my problem is that I know I'm bad at relaxing, I'm bad at leaving things before they're finished (which is why, in my one week on full time here I got four hours overtime), and I suck at feeling good with myself if I don't feel I'm doing my best at a job. And so, how do I make sure I work enough to make myself feel like I'm contributing and holding up the fort, while making sure I actually get well this time? I cannot be sick anymore, I just can't. I'll go into a major depression! Please advise me.

My aura is... green It's quite a coincidence that green is "the color of money" because people with green auras are often motivated by a desire for power and material success. Their ambition compels them into leadership positions; if they're not on the student council, they may be planning early on where they'll go to college and even business school. Read more...

Og alltid gå med noe rundt halsen hvis du her lett for å bli syk. Noe tynt er greit, bare det er noe.
Hva gjelder jobb og ting man må gjøre så laget jeg en plan. En liste over ting jeg skulle gjøre per dag. Denne må selvfølglig være realistisk, og helst svært detaljert. Det har fungert for meg, for da fulfører jeg de oppgavene jeg har satt meg, og setter alle "ekstraoppgaver" og "spontanoppgaver" på listen for dagen etter. og så føles det godt å styke ut ting du har gjort også da:)
Ga det mening?
Ikke sikkert noen av disse tingene funker for deg, men de rocket min verden iallefall.

and lie in bed and do things that makes you relaxed for an hour or two before your bedtime, and not talk to the telephone for an hour or two before bedtime
it's boring, but it works for me. I sleep better if i a) try and play guitar from 8-10 and then read a book from 10-12, than if i... watch tv for instance. Although i feel all relaxed when watchign tv. It's pretty weird.

1: My stephbrothers. Fall on sleep on sofa watching tv. Requires sleep deprivation and a big and comfy sofa. Will be woke up by flatmates if you snore.
2: Mine: Start spinning stories in your head. This will take at least an hour, but with some practise you'll lose the thread faster and faster, be fed up, and just sleep.
3: My grandmothers: Take immense amounts of painkillers.
4: The alcoholics (my favorite, but I'm to much of a pussy to do it regularly) take one, two, or even three glasses of port before going to bed.
5. The zombies: Just make sure you get up early, and the sleep deprivation should take care of you the next night. Just make sure you don't drink much cofee to stay awake, and don't fall asleep when you get home from work.
6. The cliche: Borrow you're flatmates "Totman - A history of Japan" or some other badly written book on a preferably interesting theme. Read it until you fall asleep. (It is important that the theme could have been interesting, else you'll just give up and find something else to read. Totman is perfect, bacause the theme is interesting, but he skips all the juicy parts and concentrate on climate, agricultural potential and such, and completely skips the political bits).
All of these have serious flaws though, especcially when you need lots of sleep to get well.

yellow
Interior decorators will tell you to paint your walls yellow to make your room more cheerful. That said, it's as if those with yellow auras live their entire lives in a yellow room. Their happy-go-lucky, optimistic personalities and nearly boundless energy make them the life of the party. Read more...
