I was on my way back to home from NYC to Nanuet, NY (upstate, close to NJ)..

It was late... like 12:30 pm... I had a bad day at work and screwed up with one of my projects... was stressed out and just wanted to sleep. Infact for the last 5 days, it was like that for me, with hardly 4 or 5 hours of sleep....

I was on the expressway, I was on the second lane and was gonna take the next exit... and I just lost it.... i dont know what happened.... I was extremely lucky that I was playing some Linkin Park music and one of their beats woke me up... I travelled a good deal distance as I missed 2 exits. If that music wasn't playing, I would have probably rammed into another car....

This whole experience has really shaken me up... But the work I do means a lot of long and stressfull days and I am sure this is gonna happen to me again... any advice and has anyone else dozed off before?

I am one of those suckers who have 2 jobs... one fulltime and the other part time.... I work for this local software company in NJ... from 9 am to 4:30 pm where I am a C/C++/VB programmer(I have a reduced salary of course)... then I commute to Queens, NYC where I work for a local wireless company there. I work part time till like 9 or 10 with the occasional overtime which they expect from me. I then commute all the way back to Nanuet.... Hopefully within the next 6 months I will leave the programming job and work as a full time network engineer... but till then... I am sure in for some near misses... My life truly sucks... On saturday, I work full time for the wireless company and find my Sundays occupied with some old business in India and a lot of other stuff... Sometimes I find my Sundays doing work for the wireless companies... And those sundays I am free... I probably go out to the flying field and crash a couple of models... (I fly helicopters mainly)....

When I come home during the weekdays... I find myself on the computer for atleast an hour on VBf and surfin and all... i finally got to sleep at around 12:30 or 1am.... if I am not late.... I wake up at like 5:30 or my dog would piss on my bed.... and lick my face clean.... I hardly get sleep and I has some sleepless nights.... I get these sort of "eye" headaches and of course a lot of regular ones......

And now, I got enemies on VBF! and thats one more headache I can't take... HELP!!
