After I burnt myself hard on Mountain Dew (the workplace had it free), I pretty much cut myseld to non-carbonated drinks mostly.

Though when I lived with my bro (who had cut over from Coke to sparkling water) I did that.. but I'm mostly to tea/coffee & plane water.

Sometimes the Rehab Monsters when having a superlong day.

(EG 12-16 hour day plus travel with minimal- if any - sleep.)

oof

energy drink memes are cool and all

but they also kill

Life kills, and I'd rather not end up in a ditch breathing my last.

You couldn't pay me enough to drink that energy drink shit.

Energy drinks taste like sugary chemical waste. Pass.

^^

Eh, depends on the type you have.

lemon lime tea it is for me

The Monster Rehabs are closer to tea.

And, when I've got 18 hour days or more in consecutive days and over weeks.. better to keep that perk (and, hell, at least I'm not using coke or speed to keep up with the frenetic pace).

The pace that I demand of myself.

12 hours is as much as I'll ever work in one sitting

with zero sleep

Worse I've done of late is a 26 hour day.

what do you work, medical?

But then literally passed out at the end of it before 100% (like 99.99% - just needed a sign off). Nah, on the road tech.

I see

that's rough

And dedication to mission completion.

are you allowed to sleep during those day long shifts?

even powernaps?

Yes, at request in effect

I mostly just want the job done, though.

Get through it, rest later.

Sometimes a touch of insomnia, too.

Like last night missing time to sleepm

I got in at about 1 in the morn, it's now 0800.

But I have this one Aussie friend that needs a bit of support from time to time so.. it's a higher priority than my own rest.

Not that I'd admit that to 'im.

He'd be insufferable.

Nah, he'd tell me to fuck off.

Kek.

@Ethreen42 who is david kock?

old globalist who'd dead now, thankfully
