    OK, so I go out drinking last night. Got home at 2:30, and stayed up chatting with some chicks that came out with us. Well, ya'll know how much chicks love to babble, and before I know it, it's like 4:30 AM, when I said enough, and headed to my bedroom.

    This morning I wake up at like 7:15, after 3 hours of sleep totally unfulfilled. Get into work at like 8:30, and feel like crap. I'm sitting in my cube now counting down till 5PM. I have been nodding off since the moment I got in. I tried drinking lots of coffee, but it just makes me piss alot. Even ate some chocolate, but it did nothing. I have two meetings scheduled this afternoon, and I can barely keep my eyes open. Any suggestions on how I can make it through the rest of this day?

    take a 9 minute power nap.

    dont sleep for over 10 minutes because thats when your body starts to go into SLEEP FOREVER mode :)

    also, dont stay up all night talking to chics and then go and blame it on them! ;)

    i feel your pain man!

    at my old job, i used to finish all of my work so fast that I would get bored out of my mind... we had a pool table, ping pong table, foosball, air hockey table, and LAN setup to play Unreal Tournament... but if those got too crowded than I'd just fall asleep at my desk. Funny thing was that I worked in a lab next to all my coworkers (who luckily were all my age and we all became good friends)... so they didn't care at all that i slept... in fact we would go home at lunch to take naps (we all lived 5minutes from work)...

    but on days I had to stay awake, i would just chat with them or do Yahoo! crossword puzzles online... it helps to take a little walk around the office grounds, or get in your car and take a quick trip to the local gas station just to buy a coke (instead of going to a vending machine)

    at times like this, i enjoy being unemployed and laid off!

    Search a magazine for a "normal-sized" head shot of someone with their eyes wide open. Cut out their eyes and put some tape on the back. Close your eyes and stick the "cut out" eyes on your eyelids. Position yourself in some manner that makes you look like you are in deep thought (hand on chin, etc...). Get some zzzzzzz's.

    That's some funny ass sh*t! Maybe I should get some of those glasses that have eyes drawn on them like Homer used during jury duty for Freddy Qumby's trial.
