Put a thick rubber band around your wrist. Whenever you feel really sleepy, stretch it as far as it'll go and let it snap back. :Q

Guaranteed to wake your sleepy-stayed-up-too-late-last-night-don't-care-about-work-ass up in a hurry. :shocked:

Last time it was quiet at work we played touch football with security, couple ER nurses, couple ER docs on the ER ambulance loading dock. Yea we were pretty slow that day. But that was over a month ago, the ER has been so busy since.

I say try and play football :D

Then again...our boredom was ended by a gunshot wound to chest....at least staff was outside and just ran right into the resuscitation/trauma room with the patient :p

I crapped my pants, talk about an addrenaline rush, I was up for hours. You should try it RIGHT NOW!
