Afternoon fever

Afternoons
How I hate them.
I hate the treachery of my apathetic body after lunch.
The way I'm suddenly convinced that I can't do my work - I'm too stupid, or tired or something.
The way, on my RDO, that I realise that I'm not going to achieve all the things on my list - so I might as well go lie on the couch for a while.
At work that time is earlier, and goes for longer.
If I have maths or programming to do, it doesn't matter how tired I feel, I'll do them anyway and enjoy them.
But if the work is a bit hard, or requires decisions, I become frozen and incapable.
I hate afternoons.
I hate spending my afternoon counting the hours until I can leave and go and lie down.
And then when I get home I'm energised again and I go to bed late.
In my ideal job, I would only work from 8.30am to 12.30 or else
I'd find a way to have an arvo nap and give myself a second helping of morning energy.
