And neither was that bird you pulled in Pattaya but was adamant 'she' was.

Ssssssnnnnnnnnniiiiiiiiifffffffffffffffffffffff

COME ON THEN!!!!!!!!

Columbian marching powder will do it but you need to be a regular user to get the dose right. You want enough to keep you awake but not so much that you become noticeably boisterous, that balance is not easy to achieve.

I would go for lots of coffee now, that will get you through the morning, then clear your calendar of anything after 2pm and go home then instead.

I regularly only have 3 hours of sleep a night (especially when the **** in the next room doesn't know how to use the ******* volume button on his ******* TV remote control) and don't find it much of a problem in meetings. I just find it a problem when sitting in front of my screen, bored with sweet fanny adam to do. A piping hot shower first thing in the morning and copious amounts of fags throughout the day keep me going. Doze off around 8'ish and then I'm awake again ready for the next round of sleeplessness.

You could tell the **** in the next room to turn it down

I don't know if it's the placebo effect or not, but Red Bull (and not the diet stuff) seems to do the trick, although if you drink it too often it doesn't work as well, failing that strong filter coffee

I've tried pro plus but it just didnt work as well as proper filter coffee for getting that caffeine hit, all I seemed to do was get a headache

You'll survive the day easily, it's tommorrow you're going to feel really tired and low, so have a real early night tonight if possible and sleep it off

[realityhack]

luckily, we dont have to wait that long

I would've delegated - but everyone buggered off as soon as the shit: started to hit the fan, the buck didn't even slow down anywhere near them but I brought it to a halt. All caused by some plonker who didn't enter the correct formulae in a costings spreadsheet. Oh, that and my expert procrastination. Which is what I'm doing now.
Diary cleared after 3pm, going home after this is all done & dusted.

Feel free to run amok - to amuse CJ/Nat/Admin if nothing else.

If you can make it to lunch time get a coffee, go sit in your car, drink it and get a snooze in, set your phone alarm to wake you. By the time you wake up the caffeine will have kicked in and that cimbined with the nap will keep you going for the afetr noon.

If you don't have the car with you use the bogs as a last resort. Bogroll makes a good makeshift pillow.
