Add-on to my list of favorite beverages
Up until recently I hardly ever drank RedBull. Why? Because I was convinced it really couldn’t help me stay awake. Yet these past weeks (and especially since I started the night shifts) I have been indulging myself with one RedBull every now and then. Do I think it helps? Maybe…Why do I actually drink it? Well, there are more options: the great commercials (not even close), the placebo effect I hope for and the fact that I am desperate after two days with not that much sleep as people are moving in my dorm (one of the pros), the fact that K seems to like it so much (most surely!).
As I said, getting some sleep hasn’t been an easy task, especially with drilling machines in the next room…But tonight, on my way to work, I was suddenly waken up. No, it wasn’t the large coffee I had before leaving, it was the taxi drive to the office. As one of my colleagues called a cab to take him home, my driver thought he should take him, so a 12-15 minutes ride turned into an about 7 minutes one! Well, the adrenaline had a powerful effect. As I was saying earlier to a friend, when you see death right in your face every 5 seconds, you kind of stop feeling sleepy!
Anyway, the happening had its good effect: this shift seemed really short. And now I am back to my posting habit, one hour and something before my shift ends.
Another issue on my mind is my dorm’s internet connection. I hope it will happen soon as I need it just as I need air. I am supposed to do a lot of research, most of it online. So, it is kind of official, my final paper will be on blogs…The angle? Oh, I have no idea about that yet, but I have to have it really clear in my mind by October15-20. I am pretty excited about it and maybe this will be a good enough reason to actually work on it! :)
Other good things related to night shifts: I discovered some really tasty snacks and a really nice smelling Vietnamese soup! My colleague Sabina showed me the way.
excellent my dear, the Red Bull always helps me when I need to drive long distances, it keeps me sharp and paying attention, much better than Cola any day...
I'm interested though in your blog theme... i hope you'll keep us posted on that one, it's a topic that interests us all... perhaps Shirazi has some tips for you too...
Tota, I love soup! But not to cook it! If it needs more than just some hot water poured over that chemical stuffs, I give up :)
Bart, it is not a victory over Cola! I will never give my precious up! :) I will keep you posted and probably try to get you all involved :)
DCS, then you should start praying for tis completion! :)
RedBull? Energy drink supposed to help you stay awake. See more here:http://kb.bitdefender.com/KB54-en--Troubleshooting-BitDefender-v8-registration-errors.html :))
Yes, in some countries Redbull cannot be sold, as it is a chemical energy drug. In Romania everything that's illegal in other parts of the world goes fine.
