When I went to NYC, Moto told me that he started drinking RedBull from time to time to get the much needed energy when he has tight deadlines. So when I started coding for this crazy Flash project, I asked Grace to get me a couple of cans to try them out… Unfortunately, it didn’t do jack for me, much like coffee, Mountain Dew or any other highly caffeinated drinks… As a bonus, my body decided to make me even more tired after drinking something that’s supposed to keep me going…
So what does one do when external stimuli fail as miserably as the mental will to stay awake? Cold shower…. Never fails (but only for a couple of hours until that “freshness” wears out).
After a few days of 4-hour sleeps, my neck started hurting like hell. Only a few more days to go before this sucker is over… well, the deadline was supposed to be this past Friday, but they neglected to communicate how certain features should work to me, which made this already bad experience even worse… But I digress… On the bright side though, nothing beats having a client pay you to learn something you’ve always wanted to learn but never had the time to… I think I picked up more Flash in 2 weeks than I ever did with the only Flash class I ever took as an Undergrad at SCAD. Good times.
