Started that new programming job this week, and I've been averaging around 3-4 hours of sleep a night. I guess it's just anxiety and stress from starting a new job.
I've managed to keep my energy levels up with coffee and sheer willpower, but I'm not sure how much longer I can go on. I was almost passing out at my computer towards the end of the day yesterday.
I hope I can make it through the week and find some rest this weekend.
Programming job stress is no fun. I wish I could say it gets better, but it has not for me. I deal with it by chilling out as much as possible while not working.
"Signed the first line it was just 9 to 5. Quickly realized it became 9 to 9. 24/7, 365, a processor seperated me from my life.
Need to unplug but you're still online, and you gotta pay the bills every month on time. Want all the hours? You can have em all, fine. This is my life, so make it all mine."
I just got my first paycheck too, deposited straight into my bank account at midnight. Going to go and get a snack at 7/11 and try to get back to sleep.
