Don't mind your butting in (at least I know somebody read it!), and in fact you brought up some points I should incorporate into that essay ifwhen I get around to finishing and posting it. Yes, before fibromyalgia put the brakes on, I did my share of all-nighters, and *sometimes* the only way to avoid getting the "so why isn't he in on time anyhow?" was to make sure I was still there when everyone else showed up so I could say, "Hi, I pulled an all-nighter, I'm going home now." Except that even then, it was often, "Well since you're still here, do this one 'small' thing before you go..."
(I'm in computers. The sleep deprivation in the medical professsion and its effect on quality of care I'm aware of only through reading about it. But that's enough to be rather scary.)
BTW, I like the picture you used on your followup. MD RenFest, I presume? (I haven't performed there in the past couple years, but you might have seen me with Thrir Venstri Foetr (Three Left Feet) (http://www.radix.net/~dglenn/bands/tvf.html) before then -- usually in between the information kiosk and the glassblower.
