With the cute guy this morning and it being Friday, I thought today would end up being a good day. Ah, expectations sure were dashed to tiny little pieces. Last night did not provide me with a good night's rest due to my stupidity of guzzling down cartons of tea at super spicy hot pot with the colleagues. Basically I couldn't fall asleep, so I was prepared to be tired today. Except! I didn't expect it to be that bad. Even after the nap at lunch I was still way too tired. I was also too tired to eat lunch except for a couple of bites before I passed out on my table.

Then it was time for afternoon work where I could not stop yawning. Hence, I decided to go get a shot of espresso from our fantastic coffee machine. Sarcasm. The coffee tastes like crap, but hey, it's free and it's caffeine. Chugged it down and waited for the effects of the caffeine to kick in. Did not happen. I was still yawning and falling asleep like there was no tomorrow. So I went back and got two more shots of espressos.

Eh. DUMB. Such a bad idea to be drinking so much coffee on a relatively empty stomach. But the brain wasn't functioning so well, so I didn't really think it through. After chugging down those two shots, I definitely felt the effects. Overkill. My pulse was racing, my attention span decreased, the head was semi-spinning. I could barely focus and get stuff done. Thankfully I finished my work early, so for the rest of the 45 minutes before I got off work I tried to keep my mind off my weird bodily functions/feelings by surfing the net. But!!!! I couldn't focus on the articles I was reading. Gah! So this is what ADHD feels like? The inability to focus, sit still, and get through even one article?! It's insane and very frustrating.

I have to say, though, that this is the first time I've overkilled on coffee. But then again, I normally don't take three espresso shots. Definitely learned my lessons - 1) no tea before bed, 2) no drinking three espresso shots in the span of less than an hour, and 3) no coffee on empty stomach!

Got home, crashed for about and hour, and now I'm all headachey and not feeling up to par. The brain's MUSH! mush I say! And I'm still having problems focusing on one thing. Meh, at least I got through this entry. SIGH.

I am currently starving, but it's also 12 am. Sigh. What a lousy Friday. [edit]My sister just informed me that today's Friday the 13th. Didn't even realize ... no wonder it was a shitty day.[/edit]
