I have been getting rather drowsy at work lately. But it's not really my fault. They're the ones who are keeping me on such a short leash and not letting me have a day off.
Fuckers.
But anyway, when I get overly sleepy I have a tried and true wake-my-ass up ritual. We have these huge rolls of plastic sheets we use to cover each pallet of stuff we package right before we wrap it. And the static electricity on these things could power a small city for three days. I will run my hand along one of these rolls ... and I can FEEL this shit tingling up my arm. Then I will touch the metal rod that the roll of plastic is hung on.
And so I will get a shock.
This is not the kind of little zap you would get from dragging your feet along the carpet. This is a fucking SHOCK. It made my arm go numb the last time I did it and goddamn if it wasn't like a religious experience.
It is glorious.
