It's 3 o clock


At least in Indiana it is. And every day at about 3, my motivation hits rock bottom. I'm tired, I can't stop yawning, and I just want to lay my head on my keyboard.

Does anyone else get this? I need some sort of picker-upper, but if I have a pop after lunch, I won't sleep that night. Argh!

Naps are always good. Too bad they aren't always practical. I have lunch around 1pm so my down time comes a little later than 3pm. I have no motivation (two more months).


Fruit is good in the afternoon - if you didn't have any in the morning.

I don't really get that myself now, but I used to get that when I was still living at home and working on the farm. About 3:00 in the afternoon, I would get this terrible, anxiety, frustration, almost anger when sitting on a tractor out in the field. I was not really upset with the fact that I had to do what I was doing, but more of just a mild going out of my mind with boredom of being out in this huge field going back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.

I don't get that nearly as bad now, but still there are some days that I just can't force myself to go out to the shop and work on woodworking projects becasue of the boredom factor.

I try to lunch as late as possible in the day.  If I don't, the afternoon DRAAAAAAAAAAAGs!!  I also like to take a walk around the building during lunch.  Gets the blood pumping.

I always start dragging after I eat lunch & it doesn't matter what I eat.

Maybe mine has something to do with the fact that I do not know what I want to be when I grow up. Maybe I am tired of numbers. Maybe they are tired of me. Maybe I should just go back to work.

But I seem to like my job the rest of the day. 3 o clock must be when my sugar drops or something. Maybe I should consider taking a later lunch.

Or maybe I just need a job where I can work form 9 to 3. Those seem to be my peak hours.

It's now almost 3:30 here in Indiana.  I'm not too tired................ just want to take at least a 3 hour nap.  LOL


My afternoons always drag - doesn't matter what time I take lunch.  I try to walk around a bit more just to keep things "awake".  Of course, I could always learn the fine art of sleeping with my eyes open............

Working bankers hours (9am-3pm) would be ideal. I would even shift it to 8am-2pm. That way you would still be able to run errands and make phone calls that can only be made during the day. I hate sitting in a cubicle farm and making personal phone calls. It seems as if everyone is listening. I try not to handle personal business while I am here.

My wife is a banker and she works from 8:00 to 5:15 every day with a meeting at 7:30 every Wednesday morning and many days she only gets 1/2 hr. for lunch. She wishes she could work "bankers hours" too. lol
