We've Got a Twitcher!

So I had a lot of fun going to the clubs last night. Only problem was that last night was a Thursday night and I had to work on Friday. That normally wouldn't be a problem if I were in bed by around 2:30am. This time however I didn't get home until after 4:00am. It didn't take me very long to talk myself into pulling an all-nighter to avoid sleeping through my alarm and waking up to a phone call from my boss. So I dropped by the convenience store and picked up a Red Bull and a 5 Hour Energy shot. I'd already had several Red Bull drinks at the clubs so I didn't want to overdo it with a giant Red Bull; the smaller one would suffice. Everything went smoothly during the wee small hours of the morning. I spent some time goofing off online mostly. A text conversation was started by a friend who had awoken to get ready for work. He suggested that I drink coffee. I normally save my coffee until the hours of 9:00am - noon but I figured it wouldn't hurt. So I made coffee AND breakfast. I hadn't had a weekday breakfast in God knows how long. It was good.

So I pull into work and chug my little 5 Hour Energy in my car. I felt kinda scuzzy, like I was smoking crack before going to work. I feel different as I sit in my area. I don't have a desk per se, I've got an area. And it quickly hits me. I'm tired. I can get thru it though. The energy shot will kick in any minute and I'll fly thru the morning. It never reveals its secrets to me. The first few hours are alright. I manage to fight off the tiredness. But once the big bossman leaves around lunchtime I fess up to my coworker, Red Bull in hand. I think this was my first (okay, second or third) mistake. By doing so I feel like I unleashed a tidal wave of weakness. Slowly I begin to dread the next few hours.

Long story short before I pass out: I decided it was time to leave when my eyeballs began to twitch. This was followed shortly by a micro dream sequence during a long blink. I'd started to nod off when I sat on the toilet but now I was nodding off in front of my computer. "Ok...just don't put your face or head on your hand or chin". Didn't work. My eyes became kinda sore and I feared that I would just crash any minute and end up asleep facedown on my keyboad. Time to go home and blog while it's still fresh.
