Don't know why, but the past week I've been waking up every night multiple times from vivid, (and weird (read symbolic)), dreams. I like dreaming, particularly when I can feel the subconscious grinding over a problem. A sort of pleasurable symbolic calculus that's constantly solving itself in pictures... The problem is that dreaming requires sleeping, and while sleeping I am not sitting at the computer working on billable projects.

Yesterday I took a break a little shy of 3 billable hours to rest my hands and back... and fell asleep. Woke up again around midnight, but I just didn't want to stop the dreams, so didn't wind up getting up until this morning. Un-good for the week's invoice. Anyway, today I'm going down to Linux Caffe so that I have no other possible activity open than to work.
