Some ultranationalist white supramicist that the ADL has record of keeps calling me at work. He’s probably called different people 15 times in the past 2 days. Through screening calls, I have managed not to talk to him yet. To top it off, the guy claims to be an attorney. Still more reason not to talk to him. Oh the joys…sometimes I love my job.

McDonald’s is launching anti-obesity campaign[yahoo news]. What are they gonna call it, “Don’t Eat Here”?

On the list of signs you are really lazy should be added “You go to McDonalds to buy a salad with bottled water”.

I’ve managed to identify 3:30 PM PST as a weakness point for needing caffeine. Three days in a row, around 3:30, I feel very tired and tempted. Today, I skipped an afternoon drink, and the massive grogginess has passed. Though, I’m still not at 100%.

So we got this marvelous new coffee machine for our cubicle area at work about a month back. OK, perhaps marvelous is an overstatment since the coffee it uses is average at best. However, it’s so, so easy to make a quick cup. This turned into at least a once a day habit. Hey, at least it’s cheaper than starbucks (works out to about $.25 a pop).

This leads of course, to a problem. No, the geeks NEVER get addicted to caffeine, do they? OK, we do. I’ve been pondering this week if my state of spaciness is more due to lack of sleep, or perhaps a growing dependence on our favorite stimulant. The drive home tonight will require an extra effort to focus, so if you see me heading your way…get out of it.

Looks like it might be time for easing off with some decaf.

Otherwise known as “it’s about 2 AM and you are….”

1) On your second cup of a _caffeinated_ herbal tea
2) Reading a Bed Bath and Beyond mailer
3) Listening to some really bad show like SG1 on the TV. And pausing it with your TiVo even…what gives
4) Realizing there are no less than four empty snack/yogurt/applesauce containers on your desk.
5) Making mental comparisons of the acting “skills” of McGuyver and Kevin Sorbo.
6) Comparing your job dissatisfaction with the “Best Of” rants on craigslist
7) You’re still awake for no good reason Wondering if the rain (err…drizzle?) can be used as justification to be lazy for the weekend
9) Contemplating if the pain in your stomach is from too much beverage
10) You want to be a pirate
11) You go to 11 instead of 10
