Zooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom!

We have a software release to get out today. I'm currently eating chocolate covered espresso beans while drinking coffee with very little food in my stomach. I predict by noon I'll vibrate right through the floor. Wish me luck.

Oh man oh man! It's almost as good as the times Moose made espresso with caffeinated water. I didn't blink for 8 hours...

Or the "No-Doz incident" from junior year.

I thought we were never to speak of it again?!?!

Good luck with the software release, and it might be time for a little solid food and some chamomile tea right now--just so you can then eat some more chocolate-covered espresso beans without throwing a nutty.

(I don't know about you lads, but I had a very, very bad No-Doz experience. It was a freakin' Afterschool Special.)

Sparkle,
Someday I'll write a blog entry about our No-Doz experience which alos could be consisidered an after school speacial. It will be really long (think David'z Rantz long) so it won't be today.

Sparkle Plenty said...

Hey, if you've eaten enough chocolate-covered espresso coffee beans while drinking coffee you'll be up for a few days or weeks and there will be plenty of time to relate the No-Doz epic...I'll look forward to it!

bacon ace said...

Ironic that you should think that. You'll know why when I write the epic.

Ohhhh I remember chocolate covered chocolate beans...those combined with the caffeine mints from Thinkgeek.com once gave a co-worker of mine heart palpitations.

Good times.

Caffeine is a GOOD thing! (How the hell do you think I manage to write all those long-ass blog posts of mine?!?!?!?!)

Soooo....did ya get the release out?

More importantly, did you manage that Barry Allen-esque floor vibration thing, which sounds waaaay cool.

I've never done that, but after 4 Diet Cokes and 2 lattes I once climbed up a wall like Spider-Man. It was neat, except for the deal I had to make with Mephisto so I could climb back down.

Sparkle Plenty said...

You're still up, ain'tcha?

bacon ace said...

The release did go out...a day late. We got the code build at about 2:00PM on Monday instead of at 9:00AM as expected. We finished yesterday.

No floor vibrations yet but I'll keep working on it until that happens, or my heart vibrates right out of my chest.

Sparks, I slept fine you'll be happy to know.

Sparkle Plenty said...

WHEW! Glad to hear it and congrats on the release.

The Silver Fox said...

Sparkle, are you sure your comment wasn't intended for Bacon Ace's December 23rd post?

bacon ace said...

Wow, that's some serious blog continuity. Blog-inuity.

Unknown said...

hehehe... back in the day when I was working retail... we called it 'dropping of shipment' good luck with the release indeed

Sparkle Plenty said...

The absence of new posts leads me to believe that despite your protestations you are very much STILL flittering around out there on your caffeine high. All of this brave talk of, "No, no. I'm fine. I can handle it. I just had a little extra today. For 'the release'." You're probably staying up all night organizing your sock drawer! Step awayyyyy from the chocolate-covered espresso beans, sir.
