I feel older than my age
My train home last night was held up outside Vauxhaull so I didn't get home until quite late. And as a result I've just fallen asleep at my desk.

This is not helped by the fact that this year I've taught students who were born after the '80s had finished.

Oh, that's so funny
I've never fallen asleep at work, never had a hangover either

I thought I was doing quite well this week
Back from a week off, and relatively alert. And then I woke up.

Poor Crowsephine
you need someone to keep you alert all the time.

Unfortunately
Coffee doesn't have quite the same effect it used to. (Which makes me feel even older...)

you just need to up the dose
I'm the same age as you and I rely on coffee entirely to get through the day.

I hate coffee
So when I'm very tired, I get a bit mug, put a tea spoon of coffee on it, fill it up with milk, add 6-10 teaspoons of sugar and heat it up. It keeps me awake all day long.

Mind you, it might be the sugar.

that sounds foul!!
But yeah I would think it's the 10 teaspoons of sugar, you might as well not bother with the coffee!
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Thu 1 Jul 2010, 16:04, Reply)

Yeah,
But I don't like sugar on my milk, so I'd need to add something bitter anyway.

I'm sure Starbucks served me something like that once
and tried to tell me it was coffee.

I like the white mocachino
with extra cinnamon and sugar.

It's all the food I should eat per day.

I normally just ask for an espresso and have done with it.

Puaj!
That's disgusting stuff. How can anyone enjoy coffee?

I don't really
The occasional espresso or Turkish coffee for me. Or tea. Lovely tea.

I can do with a bit of tea
Basicaly, I dip the tea bag on hot water and take it out inmediately. No milk no sugar, thanks.

I've drifted off in meetings from time to time

I only fall asleep involuntarily
when I'm travelling. When I'm on the passenger sit on the car I try to stay awake but it's so hard.

There is more chance of Al swanning in right now
and congratulating me on being an erudite, dashing, handsome fellow whom it's his privelige to know, than there is of me completing a car journey without falling asleep.

remind me never to get in your car.

( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Thu 1 Jul 2010, 15:19, Reply)

I no longer own a car
Although I probably should have specified that it's only as a passenger that I've ever fallen asleep in a car!

Apart from that one time when I was 18, but I woke up in time to avoid the lamppost

Lucky us!
But I'm the same. I feel really bad, it's very bad manners to fall asleep when someone else is driving.

I once had to drive from Zebrugge to Blackburn to get back home in time for work
in one sitting. I didn't fall asleep once. When I did get home though I opened the car door and 38 empty cans of red bull fell out.

Since you're leaving I just wanted to say what an erudite, dashing, handsome fellow you are
and what a privilege it's been to know you.

and throwing it back in your face if my new work's internet security is shithouse
