In so much as the decision to live elsewhere in your home town is made not so much by people but because LeBron James took the entirety of the economy with him, sure, totally first world.

Who wore it better?

Well, no normal weeks yet. My good friend and employee quit and we're trying to sell our house. This has meant that I have had to run home to get the cats someplace for showings. No offers yet so we can do this endlessly. Woo hoo.

Yeah, Redbull is not for me.

I'm a fan of the no sugar/no calorie Monster energy drinks. There are at least four to choose from (red, white, blue, purple) that aren't terrible (orange is terrible). Prices vary wildly, depending on where you get them. At Dollar General, they're $2/can. At most convenient stores, they're around $2.50/can, and can often be found on sale, 2 for $4. At work they're $3.79 each which is highway robbery, but sometimes when you're looking at an afternoon of briefings, it don't look so bad, Ponch.

The big advantage Jolt has over Red Bull is that the taste they were going for with Jolt isn't that of the inside of a male cow's distended asshole.

When I worked in fast food they used to stock the first aid cabinet with Sine-ese pills. Pretty much straight pseudoephedrine. Two of those little red pills and a big cup of coffee and you could work ten hours with a smile.

$2/can at Dollar General, which is high for soda but inexpensive for energy drinks.
[/quote]Wait, RedBull is $2.50 anywhere in the country you want to buy it. I've had Jolt and theres no way it holds a candle to the energy kick of a RedBull so just pay the extra fifty cents. Jolt is really just an up caffine soft drink, versus a real energy drink that has lots of weird vitamins and herbs that claim to give more energy, and now RedBull has different flavors too.

I gotta say regarding energy drinks: "Thanks" to all the meth addicts in the US for making pseudo-ephedrine and even real ephedrine (ma-huang extract) illegal. I used to be able to go to a Golds Gym and buy an ephedrine spiked energy drink and just pound the fucking weights. Fuck, even "Breathe Easy" tea has had to change to a non working formula now. All we're left with is caffine and some stupid vitamins which don't really give any kind of energy buzz.

I went to a New Year's Eve party at the Arkadia Retrocade and took this:

W...what's the problem on the job front? Asking for a friend.

I am trying to get the fridge stocked with Jolt only to be told it's "too expensive," "not easily accessible" and "causes cancer in all known life forms."

W...what's the problem on the job front? Asking for a friend.

Well, after doing everything I could to run that place as well as I could and worry about every little thing that could blow up in our face I got some semi-depressing news, so fuck it, if the job I'm doing isn't good enough I don't give a fuck.

We have failed to have a normal week since the genesis of this thread. I got a call on Friday from the crematorium. They had given me the wrong pet's ashes. I drove over there to get the right ashes. At least it's settled now. (Although the ashes I had haven't yet been picked up by their owner. It is odd to me that you wait three and a half weeks, but nobody gives you an instruction manual for this stuff.)

I believe he is referring to the fact that 8-5:30 is 9 1/2 hours.

I don't understand. I want to understand, but I don't. I am intentionally trying to limit the time I am at work so I have something of a sustainable life.

Here is how it went so far - I believe I contracted the flu.

What kind of MONSTER works you 8 to 5 FUCKING 30?!

OK, we're gonna try this for one normal week.

Go to bed at 10:30PM.
Get up at 6:30AM.
6:30AM - 7:05: have coffee with my wife
7:05 - 7:40: get ready for work
7:40-7:50: drive into work
7:50 - 5:30PM: work
5:30PM - 5:45PM: drive home, hopefully I do not get stuck in the garage
5:45-9:00PM: dinner, spend time with my wife
9:00PM - 10:30PM: Cyberganked programming

Let's see if we can do that every day. I feel good about our chances.

Whoo-hoo! Thers a spot waiting for you in the drunk base

Wunderkind!

I do have rum and I do have coffee. How about a weekend nip? Of the ole JOHNNY DAPPER?

If you add rum and freshly grated nutmeg to your coffee it's technically breakfast. That is YOUR weekend tip!

Let's begin our [i]Normal Week[/i] on this upcoming Monday and have it go 7 days.

Billy asking a reasonable clarification question - see? SEE? We are already headed for normality. Normalcy. Normalitude.
