I've been comming to Luxemburg over the past three weeks now for this new job, the hours are pretty long, but I like it so far.
Being a freelance, I am used to work from home most of the time, and usualy meet up with the customers a couple of times on a project... big change now, I'm working "indoors" in an office in a large building... where no smoking signs are being put every 5 centimeters along my path. Being a heavy smoker, I needed to cut down (there is a smoking room in the building, but it's pretty far..and a lot of fuss if I want to go in & out since I work in a "securised area"(sp?))... I decided for the 1st time in my life to try & cut down the smoking by instead chewing gum. (I am not going to use those patches, I'm very sensitive to medicine... most of them make me stomach sick).
So, I go out and buy those "X-it" mints that I've been chewing all day long everyday for three weeks. I have a great breath, the secretaries are impressed.(I hope)
As I said, work hours are aplenty, and I often find myself going back to the hotel at past 10pm, have a quick dinner, watch french television (barf!) and try go to sleep. There lies the problem, over time, Its been harder & harder for me to sleep... I think i've done an average 3 hours sleep at night over the last couple of weeks... not enough. I put it on stress, too much coke & coffee... whatever.
Yesterday, for the first time, I'm fiddling with the "X-it" box (what did those manufacturers think... small metal boxes, very hard to open if you bite your nails like I do) ... and I read for the 1st time what is written in very small character on the box:
X-it
100 Ice mints with garana
sugar free
Do not feed to children
HARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!

What the heck is garana?

Its an exciting substance. i trust it's being taken by those younger ones who cannot get "Es" or something. (and it's still legal in most countries)
Would explain the pink elephants... or maybe that was the cobra beer i had with the vindaloo i had last night... hmmmm

HEHE saw :) sweet elephant dreams and get some good sleep.
Take care and remember you got a life beside work too :D

If its what i think it is, its like caffine, except bout 10 times worse. Alota people use it for late work or hardcore computer gamers.

You weren't the only one that didn't know. I thought he had mistyped and meant to say "guano".
