bluegargantuaVirgo Horoscope for week of December 4, 2003
The Chilean Congress has recently considered a bill that would mandate afternoon siestas for all workers. As a nap activist who has lobbied long and hard for everyone to get more dream time, I cheered this revolutionary proposal. Now I'm asking you, Virgo, to join me in the struggle to gain even more sleepers' rights. What specific action can you take? For starters, spend more time asleep and dreaming in the coming week than you ever have -- and don't let any workaholic, sleep-deprived cranky-head shame you for it. Your productivity will rise; I guarantee it. (P.S. The astrological moment is also ripe for you to rise up against the tyranny of Type A overachievers who think everyone should be as addicted to stress as they are.)
YAR! And terribly good advice, I've been slacking on the sleep the past couple of days.
Oh, I had a cool dream tonight about a climbing ladder. The ladder was really like two poles with hooks on the back at regular intervals. and a peg to stand on at the bottom. To use the ladder you'd hook them over the bar and then shift your weight back and forth allowing you to move the opposite ladded up one hook, then shift over to that side and boost the other one. So you'd effectively climb up into the air without really moving on the ladder itself. It was kinda neat.

Date: 2003-12-03 09:44 pm (UTC)Mind you, there's nowhere that useful to go between midnight and 8am, so I've taken to just kicking back in my chair (which is quite comfortable) and napping for an hour. As a consequence of doing this for about a year and a half now, I'm quite a booster of the mid-workday nap. I find that I'm significantly more productive at work both before and after the nap; moreso than I am in a workday where I'm awake for the entire time.
It's unfortunate that the bubble has burst. The tech sector was far more forgiving of eccentric (from US prespectives) work behavior before the market fell.
