Buzzzzzzzzzz

Oh man. So in addition to my normal 1 liter bottle of Diet Coke at work today, a few of us trekked across the street to the old stop n rob for snacks. Had a break in the action when we were supposed to go snag some coffee, but that didn’t work out because things got busy.

Anyway, since I was dragging and in need of caffeine, I picked up a can of that energy drink Mountain Dew makes — it’s called Amp and it’s pretty tasty. These are small cans. They’re very stylish. Needless to say, some 6+ hours later, I’m still wired. Not jittery, but to the point where I can function without feeling like I should be falling asleep. I think I may have just stumbled upon a story idea for our re-done features/lifestyle page. It would involve a variety of energy drinks, a blog and very little sleep for me. I’ll see.

But yeah. It’s damn near 5:30 and I’m still awake. I don’t feel ready for bed. The only thing that’s a little bit off are my eyes, but I did fall asleep with my contacts in last night. Or whatever day that was, darn it. I wish I had energy drinks like this when I was in college. Christ. Staying up would’ve been a piece of cake. I’m fairly certain if I get into bed I’ll be able to fall asleep. I’m sort of curious how long I could stay up. As least I know the stuff does work; and I thought I might’ve needed two cans of the stuff. Glad I didn’t do that. Can you tell from my writing at all that the mind is working a little faster? Maybe? A little? Can you tell???

Not much to report on the flirting front. The co-worker asked about my previous place of employment this afternoon, and I told him I’d give him the scoop, just not there at work. So before I left (at 1:30 a.m. ... sigh), I sent him an e-mail letting him know he could give me a call if he wanted to chat about that stuff. And I included my (personal) e-mail address (gasp!). I mentioned I didn’t want to say something in front of the guys; I’m fairly certain we both would’ve gotten teased if I had said something. It’ll be very interesting to see if I hear from him. I think he works through Saturday. Tough to read. I remember him from when I had my interview; heh, he made an impression on me. My first day, he definitely checked me out — and I was weirded out by that. The last few days … I guess I’ve let my guard down. I wonder if that’s because there could be something on the horizon with S and I’m feeling more relaxed, hard to say. Co-worker seriously checked me out in the meeting today. I’ve made eye contact with him a few of the times I’ve noticed it, but didn’t this time, and watched him from the corner of my eye. I am “the new girl” so it’s to be expected, I suppose. He and I are among the few single people there I guess. Eh fuck. I’m rambling now. I do think co-worker will make a good friend, despite the fact there are some definite political and religious differences (I’ve heard he’s relatively religious). But to his credit, he doesn’t mention that stuff a whole lot. Not like some of the folks I’ve noticed around there.

Still no word from S. Not worried about it. I think it will be fun when we finally get together. It would be nice if that was some time soon, however. Sheesh man, get your shit together.

GAH. I’m still not tired. Well, physically, I feel tired because I’ve been up since about 10:30. I guess I should try to sleep. Even if I don’t sleep for long, I can always go buy more ... AMP!

OK, I yawned again. I’ll at least go get into bed. I make no promises for sleep, however.
