No Excitement... Until!

Well, a faulty starter on one of my coworker's cars has a large effect on me today; a bit of a schedule change. Thus far I've been in for about two and a half hours and had been planning on working until midnight. Kevin's car doesn't agree with him at the moment, so his coverage of the 4-8 shot tomorrow morning is questionable, and you know what that means!

Hopefully I can get out of here by ten tonight so that I can go home and at least get a few hours of sleep before I have to drag myself back into work. So, now I need to figure out ways to stay awake for 24 contiguous hours with a small nap in the middle, woo!

1) Caffeine. I've never been a coffee drinker, but downing an awful tasting energy drink like Red Bull is always good. I'll definitely have to drop by the 7-11 on my way back in to keep my blood pumping and my eyes open.

2) Movies to watch. Preferably new ones that I actually want to see so that I'll fight back the sleep to watch them. I really wish I had access to streaming like Hulu here at work; I could catch up on Heroes and watch Doctor Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog that has been recommended to me over the weekend. Alas.

3) Sugar rush. Last resort, because of the demonic crash it leads to. Honestly when I'm sixteen hours through a long shift I won't really care what I eat anymore, as long as it makes the sleepy go away.

4) Video games can always keep me awake, but sadly they're not allowed at the place I work. Nothing with a hard drive save the work laptops we're issued. That even means no thumbdrives, so I even have to load everything I want to listen to and watch prior to coming here. Start->Run->spider ?

At the very least, this week will make bank for me. I can't complain about that, especially when the overtime money I make pays my electricity and cable for the month with cash to spare.

In other quick news, apparently the next Watchmen trailer will be attached to Quantum of Solace next month, so that's even more of a reason to go to the new Bond film. As if how great Casino Royale turned out didn't motivate me enough already. Also, Snyder's graphic novel adaptation clocks in at about 163 minutes.
