Wired

February 11, 2010

Wired from a combination of coffee and cinnamon roll.
I have been staying away from the morning sugar bombs.
But, it was a co-workers’ birthday, and a different co-worker made homemade cinnamon rolls.
They were warm.
What can I say, I was weak.
I did take a smallish one.

So a bit later I am suddenly a bit jittery. Useless energy that is harder to harness in a good direction.
I have been trying to balance out with yogurt and other foods I brought with me so I don’t crash.

I read somewhere in the past few days that sugar making kids wild is unsubstantiated, a myth.
Since I can feel what it does to me, I have to believe it is also affecting smaller bodies.

For a different kind of wired I got an un-requested visit from IT, asking if I wanted a second monitor.
I frequently multi-task with several windows going at once, so this would probably be helpful.
I don’t usually try to get to the front of the line, and I did ask him if there was anyone else who needed it more – he said I did more of this type of thing than anyone else. [Actually, I think our finance manager may do as much or more, but she is faster on the Ctrl-Alt combinations.]
He is ordering two new workstations, and we have an extra monitor already, that matches my current monitor. So instead of ordering one workstation sans monitor, he will just get two complete stations and I get more screen space.

Woo-hoo.
