Side effects of sugar intake

I started today with a bang! I actually got up early which is not just unusual but unusual for me after staying up late last night watching Gladiator. First time I had seen it and I had made the grave error of watching it with my husband who is an Army Sergeant and had a significant amount of liquor in him. Little known fact about the movie: if you watch it under these conditions, there is a secret hidden bonus feature that includes random narration that details the entire history of field artillery explaining the evolution of flaming catapulted balls of pine pitch to napalm. Sadly, I found you cannot turn this feature off and it makes the movie 4 hours and 13 minutes long.

Regardless, I made it to work, after dropping off the kidlet, early enough to get flowers for the admins, donuts for the whole office and Starbucks for me and two friends. I felt on top of the world looking down on creation. Cranked out a high volume of work while listening to the new Shooter Jennings album. Until 9:30. I then crashed. Hard. I have had two Cokes and another half of a chocolate donut in a vain attempt to recover the early morning bliss. It is not working. As a matter of fact, the only thing it is doing is creating the overwhelming desire to crawl under my desk and nap there very contentedly until someone kicks me and tells me it's time to go home.

Now, I have gotten a good amount of work done today as I have spent a nice portion of my day running around like a poodle on cocaine. I have a few projects to muster through and I may actually be ahead of my game. But what am I doing? This. Typing nonsense. Rambling. I mean, I could feasibly sit here and go on for hours. Not very good for my job performance or for anyone reading this. So, I'll leave it be and get back to work. Damn my responsible nature.
