I just finished meeting (aka teleconferencing) with my project team. It started at 5am and ended at 6:30am. I would sleep in and go to work a bit later today, but I have another meeting to attend to at 8:00am.
So in the meeting that just ended, we talked about getting down the requirements and scope of the project. I never realized just how "global" my company is until everyone said where they're calling in from. There's one person from Spain, one from Singapore, three from the US (Delaware, Colorado, and California), and two from the UK. No wonder I had to get up at 5...with so many different time zones, someone is bound to end up with a not-so-ideal-time.
And strangely enough, I don't feel that tired. Though, I have a feeling that I probably will need a lot of coffee today. EDIT (at 10:21am): Speaking of which, I've pretty much become a slave to coffee, not by choice. It's just that, getting up at 7:30am almost everyday and not getting home until 5pm or later can be quite tiring (especially right after lunch..I always have to try so hard to prevent myself from sleeping away). So, I have no choice but to drink the oh-so-very-unpleasant energy elixir which makes me jittery as hell afterwards. I just downed a mug of coffee about 30 minutes ago. And now my heart's pounding, I feel anxious, I don't know what to do with myself. It's like I'm tired, but some force is making me stay awake...Like, you want to fall asleep, but someone's pulled your eyes open, permanently--very unpleasant. In short, I HATE THIS FEELING!!! But without it, I'd probably be too tired to pay much attention during meetings. *sigh* such is the sad world of the corporate work place...
Ok a thought just popped into my head. And now I'm wondering why we don't make any sounds when we yawn. I mean, when we sneeze, there's a sound, so how come when we yawn, there isn't any? This silence is quite interesting... I think it's kind of nice. Yea...it'd definitely be very annoying if every time someone yawned, there's a sound. I think we all yawn more than we sneeze everyday. Furthermore, if yawns were to have a sound, what would they sound like? They wouldn't be crisp, short sounding, like a sneeze because they're long and drawn out and make you feel relaxed afterwards. So what's a sound that describes that?
Any ideas?

Haha that's like a perfect distribution around the world...almost like they're TRYING to impress you! I guess they missed some middle eastern/russian longitudes :). As to the yawns, I've heard people yawn-sigh plenty of times...basically, if it's a big enough yawn, it's the sound of a deep breath. Or does that not count?
the answer is red bull or sobe energy, or maybelline cool effects makeup if they still sell that stuff. man i'm going to fall asleep NOW....to top it off, my day SUCKED
