It is a cliché in a number of genre 0f movies to see someone, whether it be the hero or the villain, reaching, grasping, striving to press a button, grab a gun, or pull a lever or something like that.
"Must... press... button. Must arghh! Must press..."
You know what I mean.
it's kind of the same here sometimes.
Midafternoon, it's warm and dull in my cube. Having sat on my backside all day, my metabolism is plummeting towards that of a hibernating grizzly bear in January. My eyes grow heavy and my hands take on the sugary-weak feeling you sometimes get when you wake up in the morning and don't have enough strength in your fingers to grip the alarm clock to lift it and pitch it across the room so you lay there listening to it's wailing repraoch cause it's easier to just ingore it than do anything else.
I sit here in front of my monitor like a dozing zombie, head lolling to one side, quite possibly a thin trace of slobber drooling out of the side of my mouth, hand at the edge of the keyboard-
"Must... type... must push... buttons... Have to....ZZZZZZZZZ"
Man, who am I kidding?
Sometimes my days START like that.

Water is important but did you know?
- 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.
- In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger.
- Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much as 3%.
- One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study.
- Lack of water is the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.
- Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.
- A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page.
