Go outside for lunch. Take 45 minutes and get some sunlight and fresh air, it will help you reset.

i am already drinking a redbull, hopefully the sugar rush will help me finish this model in the next 45 minutes.

Capt K, i am in europe, its way past lunch here. I am the only analyst at my desk for other desks around the world that do not ahve a junior they call me.....so you can imagine !!

Maybe I do not have quotes under my name on google, but I KEEP IT REAL
 

just gave you a few silver bananas...if that isn't enough to pick you up, not sure I can help.

joking, just do some pushups, try to get some blood flow to the brain and seratonin up.

stay strong. It will be over before you know it. One of the keys I found when I was an analyst was not to really think about the week as a week. The sooner you forget about weekends and days of the week, the faster you will adapt and you will be able to deal with being in the office 6-7 days a week much better.

Good luck, Patrick
