OC Minus the C

I've been wondering for a while now if I have an obssessive personality. When my mind gets its grip on something, it's very very hard for me to let go. There are nights when I can't fall asleep until really late because I've started thinking about something and my mind insists on thinking it through to the very end, be it a decision, comprehension or boredom with the topic. Thankfully, sleep-whore me has never had a completely sleepless night ;-) but I digress...

Obsessing about things helped me in the past, especially when it came to corporate work and project management. When you obsess, you see so many little details and you can catch them all. It also means, though, waking up in the middle of the night or early morning to jot down a few more notes and being very tired during the work day because of the lack of sleep.

It's like the Energizer Bunny's gone to town modifying my neurosystem. It's like having the lights on the Las Vegas Strip constantly flashing in your head. It's like coffee nerves without the indulgence of at least having that cup of coffee.

Thanks, Numi! :) Wish I could find the off switch for my brain though. Last night was the 3rd consecutive night that I just couldn't fall asleep.
