I worked with a guy that reacted to caffeine in a similar way. He kept drinking more coffee, then switched to energy drinks, then coffee and energy drinks and nothing gave him a boost. He ended up having some sort of 'attack' (he thought it was a heart attack but it wasn't) and his doctor told him in some people caffeine actually slows them down. He was doing major damage to himself trying to put more and more into his system.

I'm like that. I could put away a 2 liter Mt Dew, and a container of Ben and Jerry's, then go to sleep.

Every once in awhile the higher ups decide that they can do something that really should be done by me. I'm watching them in the owners office for about half an hour staring at his monitor and I'm wondering wtf they're doing. Turns out it was a wedding announcement insert that they turned into a complete clusterpancake. I love it when they have to admit defeat and come ask me to help. Typeset and printed off the copier in 3 minutes

KNOW YOUR ROLE BOSS!!!!!!!

Yum!!!!
Samoas. love them. I saw a recipe for them on Food Gawker...have yet to try it.

Somebody just left 2 boxes of GS cookies in our break room...Tagalongs and Thin Mints.
Tagalongs would be good if the chocolate wasn't disgusting, a semi-sweet would rock!

lol. I've never heard of the term Samoas before. I thought it was a typo for Samosas.
