((SCENE)) Today was my boss's birthday. It was also the day that we decided to head into the office at 0600 to finish next year's sales plan.
In need of a gift and still damn tired, I gave in to the months of temptation. My boss has said for months that his energy drink was the greatest thing since sliced bread. I had never tried it. I stopped in at the convenience store and bought seven energy drinks – 6 as a gift (wrapped in a generic plastic bag — nice!) and one for me. I popped that baby open and drove to work.
((Background)) I am normally a little tornado. I suspect that people see me as the friendly version of the Tasmanian Devil from Bugs Bunny – just wooshing into the room and creating a wake like a speedboat. I have a lot of energy. I'm naturally excited. It tends to be infectious when people are around me.
Now that we've painted the picture, I need to tell you that the energy drink is truly the nectar of the gods. I went the whole day at my routine pace (1000mph) and was still just pinging at the end of the day. I was never jittery – never frantic – just ready for anything that came my way with enough spunk to tackle it with a big smile. It really did give me the wings to tackle any bull that came my way.
So, if you are considering trying an energy drink, I want to tell you that I'm sold. Here's my suggestion:

You're going to hell. You had better hope she can't find our house…..
I'm sure I'm due some comment akin to "mess with the bull & you get the horns" or something clever. This isn't just for her, I really did drink the shit out of that Hansen's and it was great!
You gotta admit – she did kinda call me out with the donuts & margarita bashing. Besides, she won't read this or even notice the "Now Playing".
I'm running away, now. Sorry, C. I try to control him, but it's impossible when he's hopped up on energy drinks.
I am going to try it. Do you think it's better than candy?
It's hard to say. Candy is good. I've always liked candy. Try it and let me know. I think it's great. No bull!
You're just trying to get me back because of my IceCream/Donut/Margaritaville statement. I think I'll go purchase some pillows from the Marriott!
I would say its not that bad. I think i try every single energy drink that comes out. Some i like some i don't. My first energy drink was a Red Bull, i was in New Zealand. I had never even heard of an "energy drink" back then. I've been hooked on the stuff ever since. I also like Bawls and coffe style energy drinks. But I get the bull daily
While this is an incredibly true story, I can't begin to tell you how much laughing has been going on over here at Chez Kev.
As far as the pillows go – some people do have a personal preference, but only the ones that have never slept on the goose down Heavenly pillows.
