Okay then! I got up at 4:00am yesterday so I could get to work on time... it's now almost 10:00pm a day-and-a-half later... that's 42 hours awake. I might have dozed off a couple times, but it didn't amount to any real sleep. That's tough, because even total insomniacs like myself require rest from time to time.
I never could have made it without the distraction of Twitter to keep me from giving up. Whether it was comparing notes of sleeplessness with @TheMuskrat or joking around about Twitter spam with @AnissaMayhew, it was pretty sweet that I was able to find Twitter peeps out there willing to help me stay awake.
Other than an incident where Jesus appeared to me in a bowl of Apple Jacks cereal, I managed to make it through the 42 sleep-deprived hours with my brain pretty much intact.
I now have 8 hours until I have to pack up my stuff and head back to the airport. I'm hoping a good chunk of that will be spent catching up on sleep, but I'm doubtful.
For reasons I can't even guess, I'm not at all tired.

hope you enjoyed your time in GA.
If you have any teeth missing the next time I see you then I’ll know why you’re not tired…
GET SOME SLEEP.
You are a human being, you need it to be on top of your game.
Ok, srsly, the last comment seems to not have gone through.
Please don’t take drugs.
Please get some sleep.
That’s the abbreviated version.
You found Jesus in your Apple Jacks? I didn’t get so lucky… Jerry Springer was in my Froot Loops.
Get some sleep. Dave Lake City 3 is coming soon.
There’s a point when you’ve been up for so long that you circle back around to awake.
There’s a prevalence of “42” in your post, and you mentioned Jesus. Coincidence?
I think so.
Anyway, looks like you picked the wrong week to quit blogathonning.
Have you learned nothing, Grasshopper? Go out, buy a copy of the federal tax code, and begin reading. By page 2 you’ll be gone.
You’ll also be dreaming about IRS agents giving you wedgies, but hey! You’ll be asleep!
