You can't run but you can Hive

[Blackrat]

We've had a shroom and a sith sighting today. Anyone seen an Amazon? How about a tired mommy?

*Looks under rocks*

No, but I see coffee...

*Giggles off to the sunset*

I've had way too much coffee in the past 16 hours... I'm on a caffeine induced speed...

I'm looking at what I might do to advance my career here. I've been with the company nearly 7 months. At 1 year I can apply for open positions in other departments. We have a help desk that does hands on stuff as well as phone work. There is also a networking group. I have a couple of other areas that are tech related that I can go into but those 2 are the most likely to take me. I've been thinking of getting the + certs like A+, Net+, Linux+. I don't know if those will help me at all. Going to college should help also. Any advice from the techies? Education areas I should focus on?

What's kept you up? Viagra?

The most caffeine I ever ingested in a 24 hour period?

I had decided to pull an all-nighter (something I rarely did) studying for an exam in Law School, so when I went to dinner at IHOP around 7PM, I ordered my usual bottomless glass of Iced Tea...AND their bottomless pot of coffee. Over the course of a couple of hours, I finished the pot of coffee and started another while downing several large glasses of tea.

My signal to stop (besides running to the john every 15 minutes)?

The continuous hum I was hearing...that lasted 'till 5AM.

Now, that kept me up and alert for some time...but it wasn't the longest I ever went without sleep.

I don't sleep much- on average, between 4-6 hours since I was a kid. Mostly 4 hours when I was under 35, mostly 6 hours since then.

But in my freshman year of college, I had a severe bout of insomnia. I was up for 65 hours straight. When I finally was able to drop off, I slept for 20 hours straight...

And awoke in the middle of a party my (oh so empathetic) roomie was throwing.

That was the alien craft hovering outside. You missed it.

We went to bar yesterday and I was broken tired already. So I had some coffee, and had some more, and even a little bit more. When we got home I went to bed and couldn't sleep (surprice!). So I just lay in bed for most of the night, half awake. Getting to work, I was dead tired, so now I need to have coffee to keep my eyes open. And it makes me giddy...

Actually, it was mine.

I left the keys in the ignition, and that pesky space monkey, Gleekchimchim, started playing with the controls...

Do you now get the "hummingbird in my ear" reference from earlier?

T'was not me that was befuddled,

T'was some other mother-fubble.

that story could have been a whole lot sexier. I'm disappointed.
