Dear Diary

I opened Google reader and there were 46 unread items. In my previous work place, I would go through the stuff once in the morning, probably once after lunch and then once at night when I'm home. Now, for now, it's just once at night when I get home.

It's my second day at the new place and I'm still working on being not overwhelmed. Waking up earlier and leaving work later than what I have been used to for the longest time, on top of the tonnes and tonnes of stuff I have to wade through in the office has gotten me rather tired. My mind is consumed with work and the need to get more sleep, and I have not had time to think about new topics, nor energy to wade through the net and dig up new, interesting stuff.

But bear with me, as I told one of the seniors today, it's just a bit scary now cos I'm not familiar yet. Once I get the hang of everything, it'll be easier and I'll be back.

In the meanwhile, I really do need to become someone who does not need so much sleep - I like 7 hours or so in order to function in such a fast-paced manner. That's about 2 hours too many.

exercising, even if it is just for 15 mins, helps maintain the pace if you can average 3 1/2-5hrs of sleep. anything less than 3 1/2hrs, u just need to squeeze in as much shut eye as and when you can - turtle
