Pick-Me-Up Snacks

When I have to work a 24 or 36 hour shift for stagecrew, I usually consume fruits, mostly bananas. Coffee usually wakes me up, but puts me to sleep when I lose that caffine buzz, making it a great night drink.

I also always think about my old boss Chuck. He told me when he was in college, he had to cram for six semester exams, and had only a week to study. His buddy gave him two pills and said "Don't sweat it. You'll get it done." At first he didn't want to take them, but when it came down to the final 48 hour stretch, he decided to take em and see what happens. He remembered taking the pills, and then remembered walking out of his final exam. His friends all told him that they never have seen anybody read books that fast while he was on the stuff, and never saw him get a wink of sleep during the 48 hour period. He aced all of his exams.

I'll never touch the stuff, and I depend on bananas and/or cranberry juice.

How ya doing, buddy?
