iluvtofly 0 #1 August 26, 2010 So I stayed out a little too late last night. (It was a going away party for a friend leaving today for grad school.) I'm sitting at my desk today realizing there isn't enough caffine in the world to wake me up. I occasionally catch myself doing the head bob. What are your tricks for staying awake at work?

Glitch 0 #2 August 26, 2010 Get up... move around... and if you can, find a co-worker to give ya head. I've yet to hear of anyone who actually fell asleep while receiving. And before ya say it, passing out drunk is not falling asleep. Randomly f'n thingies up since before I was born... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wolfriverjoe 1,351 #4 August 26, 2010 Chew gum or candy (chewy candy like starbursts or jollly rogers). Really. Don't ask me why or how, but having your jaw working up and down keeps you awake.

But when people kept buying pitchers of beer for everyone it got hard to leave. Who am I to say no to free beer? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

d_squared431 0 #14 August 26, 2010 I also recommend playing on dz.com with all the people who post when they are suppose to be working. Oh, wait you are doing that....Another suggestion is to drink a ton of water so you have to get up to pee every five minutes.

skymama 35 #17 August 26, 2010 Quote Nice try. Fine. I'm going with getting up and moving around then. I often do lunges, sit-ups, wall push-ups and squats at work. Sometimes I even do it when I'm wearing a skirt, but I make sure I'm alone in the office at those times.

JohnMitchell 14 #22 August 26, 2010 Go to the union office on your break, turn down the lights, and do some deep-breathing meditation with your eyes closed. Thirty minutes of this should refresh you very much. Either that or fake sick and go home. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
