Ah, The Joys of the Desk...

Ah, behold the joys of the midnight to 4 a.m. shift...
Fueled by energy drinks, and driven to stay awake
Mostly because they'll fire me if I don't...
I embark on a wonderful continuation of my shift...

MonsterKhaos is actually a tasty energy drink...
Mostly they taste like Hell... but that one was good...
BAWLs is lined up for hte next few hours...
The only problem is not being allowed to leave the desk...
And eventually, I will have to pee... this is the problem...

In between blogging, and chatting with a friend
About relationship crises... exactly my cup of tea...
I'm watching The X-Files... I'm on disc 2 of season 2...
And in case you care, the new movie comes out Friday.

This will most likely be my last post for a few weeks...
I work 12-4, then 10-1 tomorrow... and then I'm on duty
Friday I have to do a key pull for a conference
Then I work 4-10 at night, and I'm leaving for home

Uncle Danny (who I haven't seen in years and years)
Is having a party, and for reasons unknown and miraculous
My parents actually WANT to go... They never do family stuff...
So that's what we're doing Saturday... then heading home

By Sunday afternoon, I should be Johnson's Island bound...
Nothing but relaxation, and family time for a week...
One whole glorious, wonderful week without desk shifts...
No lockouts or AC problems, no noise violations, no checkouts...

I only have to get through the rest of this week... that's all
Because after a week of vaction, I'm pretty sure that no matter
What happens in the end of the summer semester, I can handle it
The rest and relaxation is all that I need... and I can't wait

For now, I'm going to wrap up this blog post...
The X-Files is getting pretty interesting...
Mulder is making out with vampire chick
And vampire dude is PISSED...

The plot thickens... dun dun dunnnn
Time to watch the episode
And drink my other energy drink
An hour and a half to go...

energy drinks are bad for you!!!

have fun at the party! if you're around, i'd love to go see x-files with you. brian doesn't really want to go.

also, if you're in town on the 3rd, be sure to stop by! (bouncy house, cotton candy, snow cones!)

Hi Amanda, what's it like working a midnight shift? I can imagine needing a bunch of energy drinks for something like that.

Have you ever tried 6 Hour Power? I work with them and am happy to say that their energy shot provides long-lasting energy and enhanced concentration and performance without the dreaded crash!

It's also sugar free, has zero calories, and comes in a variety of flavors: grape, punch, berry, orange, and lemon lime. They taste good too, and I think make a great 'pick me up'. Check them out at http://www.6hrpower.com/

By the way, I hope you don't mind me commenting on your blog. I think you'll be interested. If you want more info or have any questions feel free to send me an e-mail. I'd love to know what you think of the 6 Hour Power energy shot!
