How to Stay Awake at Work...ugh...

Here’s something we talked about on Tuesday March 4th---

HOW TO STAY AWAKE AT WORK

Going through the motions at your mundane, boring job can literally PUT YOU TO SLEEP . . . no matter what you do to try to stop it.  Here are some things you can do to try to stay awake at work . . .

#1.) BRING COFFEE, SNACKS AND GUM.  These things will give you energy . . . and the gum should give you something to do . . . so you don’t get bored and fall asleep.  Careful with the coffee, though, because the caffeine could make you crash later on.  That of course coming from a guy who drinks a couple of Diet Rock Stars a day.  As far as gum how about Big Red?
I am hearing that sunflower seeds still in the husk are a good idea too.

#2.) DON’T REST YOUR EYES OR LAY YOUR HEAD DOWN.  This is pretty obvious, but when you do this . . . it’ll be more likely that you’ll fall asleep at your desk.  Don’t rest your head in your hand, either.

#3.) MOVE AROUND.  Get up from your desk and walk around the office.  You have to keep that energy up, because staring at your computer screen all day is probably one of the most boring things that you can possibly do.

#4.) TAKE FREQUENT BREAKS.  If, for some reason, The Man doesn’t offer you unlimited breaks . . . take a bathroom break.  While you’re there, splash some cold water on your face to wake yourself up.

#5.) GET HELP FROM CO-WORKERS.  You know how you always see the wage-slaves on “The Office” play games to alleviate their boredom?  If some of your co-workers are cool enough, maybe you can gather them together to do the same.

I hope these help someone....
