“Can I have everyone’s attention please!” I said at work, raising my voice when there were no customers in the branch. “I have something to say which you all need to know.”

When I’m sleep deprived, I’m a mess. The synapses in my brain just don’t fire. What I say and what I hear don’t necessarily match reality. I hear about Winston Churchill, Napolean Bonaparte, Thomas Jefferson and Bob Hawke and how at the peak of their political powers they only required a few hours sleep a night and I can’t believe there haven’t been more wars.

I felt like a bit of a wally today because I had to be driven home from work.

One of my colleagues has been dragging herself into the office for a week despite sniffling and talking like she’s doing a bad Krusty the Clown impersonation.

Whereas I went home because I was dizzy. What a princess.
