Jetlag still sucks →[More:]I got up at 1.30am, it's now almost 5pm and I'm sick with fatigue but not sleepiness. I managed to put in a full day at work, doing very little and hopefully will be back up to speed by Monday.

Gah! Travelling west to east is always worse than going the other direction, because you lose, not gain, time.

This is really your fault. Las Vegas goes completely out of its way to get rid of the concept of time. If you would have kept to your home time zone and not left the casino at all you would have been fine.

Of course, I kid. Flying east sucks. When I went to Europe on business I got about 2 hours of sleep a day. I never knew what time it was. I must have made a wonderful impression on the customers I came to visit. And once I acclimated, it was time to go home.

If I'd stayed in the casino, with my luck at the tables and slots the mob would've 'disappeared' me into the desert by Day 4, fearful of the Barbary Coast going broke.
