I'm dead tired. This forums slow today, so is Honda-tech. I've played most of the games at: www.onemorelevel.com. I'm really bored and really tired. I need some remedeys to stay awake.

i always wanted to try that 5 hour energy stuff.

sandals is a lumberjack in his spare time.

i used to drive back in the day for napa, i would have to be in at 8am (early for a 19 year old at the time) and i would doze off while i was driving. not a good idea.

but this is a different kind of tired. the boredeom really creates this sense of slow time, never ending, im going to be here forever type of deal.

that sucks, luckly i only have one manager and another person the same rank as me. i can usually slide by all day without doing much of anything. most of the time its good, but sometimes, like now, when im falling asleep and half dead, it sucks.

I'm in charge of 3 shifts but I don't mind being busy...I like being "under the gun". Don't get me wrong I do get tired but I'm on my feet and walking 85% of the day so you just don't think about it.

ouch pearl. i work at an art framing store at the mall, and about 2 MAYBE 3 people walk in. within a day. (if we're lucky)

i'm shocked that the store is still open. I've ended up reading a book, or if there is two of us, we take turns looking through radioshack or something.

Well I usually get up. Just take a walk, grab some water, then grab a piece of gum. I procede to do this every hour and it gets you through the day.
