I'm going to be covering a pretty large-scale business and media conference and tomorrow - my first (yay!) - and I feel super-nervous, on account of the fact that I have no tools to work with - no internet data card, no video recorder, no 3G enabled device. And I'm stressing about the stupidest of things, like finding time to cut my nails tomorrow morning so that I won't end up mutilating the surface of my poor iPad. I've found work-arounds for all these things that I do not, currently, have - but it's left me with a deeply uneasy feeling. With so many things being substitutes and set up quite precariously, at least one of them is bound to go wrong.
Strictly speaking, it's not sleeplessness that's my problem right now. I'm pretty positive that if I shut my eyes, I'll be out like a light in the next five minutes. I'm just too scared to sleep. I'm terrified that I'll sleep right now, only to wake up and realise that it's 8am, and I'm fired. I have a comprehensive history of oversleeping on the most critical occasions.
Even more worrying, I don't know what to wear tomorrow.
