I am fine virtually any time except after a meal when I get very dozy almost without exception... a big lunch and I can't work all afternoon.

No one makes anyone have kids (except perhaps their wife as abortion is one persons choice). And yes it is very aging. I dont really understand why people want them.Originally posted by EternalOptimist View PostIf you ever feel like moaning about being tired, ask spod, or one of the other new parents

It is true that its a hard habit to break, once you get into it.
I suspect that a lot of people do it because it's a 'naughty pleasure' rather than a real need.

Working at home for the septics for the past few years I'd be up early and put in a shift then a nap in the afternoon before they came online and work till about midnight.
Now there's not much to do but really hard to break that habit. Dreading the next 9-5 contract.

I get tired about that time, not much work gets done after then usually, I think it might just be the total boredom of the job, brain just can't take any more.
