Staying Awake at Work

[Tallulah]

I am on my feet at work all day, so it is not too hard to stay awake. Yesterday was hard, though; our restaurant has windows all around the dining area, and the sun is always shining in somewhere, so it gets really hot, and the air conditioning there NEVER works. (it works where it matters, though; in the staffroom! ) On top of that I had a raging sore throat and almost lost my voice by the end of my shift. So I had to keep going round back to have a quick drink of (slightly orange-flavoured!) water.

EDIT: Oh, also, rumour has it that last year a couple of my colleagues, found an interesting way to keep awake on the shift! I heard they did... stuff... in the stockroom!
