Ever get the feeling you’ve totally screwed something up, missed a deadline and possibly your company a lot of money? Ever get it confirmed in an email? How did you sleep that night?

That’s how I found myself tossing and turning and staring at the ceiling through the wee hours. I finally gave up and got out of bed and watched TV for a couple of hours. I went back to bed at 6:00 am. The phone rang for the first time a little before 8:00. And for some reason I don’t remember much about the rest of the day.

Actually, this is a mistake that can be corrected. It will just take more time than I have at the moment, and way more energy than I can muster. I might even have to (shudder) make a phone call. I probably won’t have to schmooze, though, which is good because I’m in no mood.
