Probably the only thing I don’t like about our new office is that it’s a dark cavern compared to how many windows were in the previous building.  The main conference room could easily double its income potential for our landlords by using the corners of the room to grow mushrooms.  Even odder are the recessed canister lights that beam right down on you in this dark room, giving all the warmness of an interrogation room about to be used by Jack Bauer.

Since we are now a satellite office and our headquarters is in Raleigh, we have to sit in this lifeless room when there are company meetings.  Yesterday was one of those days when we had one of those 2 ½ hour meetings.  Staying awake when someone in another city is droning on an on can be a challenge.  This is when I pound the Red Bull or load up on a vat of coffee or any other caffeine delivery method.

They did try to load us up on sweets and while I limited myself to a minimal amount of that, the guy next to me decided to go for the refined sugar buzz.  Making a sandwich out of two sugar cookies and a fudge brownie is enough to put a person watching that person into diabetic shock.

The preparation and anticipation

Sugar buzz to commence in 3……2…….1……
