Sometimes I wake up, time does stuff, then I wake up again realizing class started 10 minutes ago....

Have you ever felt as though each minute is shorter than the last, that life is inexorably sliding away, slipping soundlessly through your fingers? All the while you scramble to hook your fingers on a trailing edge... trying, in vain, to haul back on its strong pull, rocking back on your heels. Fighting as it runs, like a deep sea fisherman fights to land a trophy fish.

Yeah. Me either.

Only when drink way too much coffee. Wait.....is there such a thing as too much coffee?

I...I..understand these words individually as English words, I know their definitions....but arranged in this manner, it's weird, it's all just....gibberish "too much coffee".....like what does that even mean?

 

[redundantbassist]

I miss the days when coffee actually worked, now I can drink half a pot and go right to bed.

 

[Jim37F]

I'll buy a giant Monster or Noz or something late in the evening of shift, crack it open and take a sip and my partners are all like universally horrified, how am I gonna get any sleep??! I sleep the exact same as when I don't have any caffeine on shift (poorly at station anyway, much better at home where I'm not on edge lol), I'm like "I'm not drinking the whole thing now, but when we get that 3am call or move up (or three more between now and then) I can take a few swallows and safely function lol

All caffeine does for me nowadays is prevent migraines in the morning. Oh and it gets the "system" going in the morning.

 

[StCEMT]

I need someone to call 911, I am running out of snacks.

 

[NomadicMedic]

That's why I take Ritalin with my coffee. It needs to be potentiated.

 

[redundantbassist]

That's why I take sour mash whiskey with my coffee. It needs to be potentiated.

Fixed that for ya.

 

[NomadicMedic]

Fixed that for ya.

Well played.

When I joined this forum a few years ago, I put zero thought whatsoever into my username. This just happened to be the song I was listening to at the time.

Oh the memories associated with Nimrod!

Yeah, its a great album, I really like a lot of green day's older work.

When you get home at 1am from a going away party just to get up at 4:45 to work a back to back shift at 6 and you sleep through the alarm causing you to be 30 minutes late. A monster and coffee are the only things holding me together right now. Whoever glorified the EMTLIFE is so full of **** their breath smells.

That was me last week. Minus the energy drink and coffee. It sucked. A lot. Have fun!

Just glad I have learned how to hit that semi-alert sleep or whatever it is. Working a horse show and dozing in the corner with a radio by my head.

 

[redundantbassist]

Aleve-D, if your box says take one tablet every 12 hours, why do you stop working after 6 hours?

There is almost nothing more satisfying than power washing the grunge from the side of the house. I live to power wash stuff. It's such an instant gratification thing. Like waking up a hypoglycemic with D50.

BOOM!

Instant hero. Hahahah
