I'll sleep when I'm dead

Jul 24, 2005 23:56

I worked a 10 hour shift today. That was intense. Cutting meat so fast that I couldn't see where my knife was going. Moving by rote. I drank a Monster energy drink on the commute to work, and then another one upon my arrival. My body thus fueled like an alcohol dragster, I cut like a banshee. When I broke for lunch 6 hrs later, my hands were so shaky that I couldn't keep the rice on my fork, and I ended up eating with my hands.

Tiredness squared.

Upon my drive home I drank a different energy drink I acquired from my coworker Ishmael. XS Energy, loaded with 4,900% the daily value of vitamin B12. Let's just say my cheeks were in a state of constant blush, I felt like I had gotten 15 hrs of sleep, and I wanted to run next to my car which was doing 65 mph. I made it home safely, and then my body started to go into heater mode. Damn that drink is potent.

My big bads news for today? My coworker Brandon will be out for a long time at work, which means the current schedule will be rewritten, all my time off requests will become null and void, and this tired old bastard called ME who was already working 50 hrs this week will be probably working more...
