More work fun

So today, after lunch we get back, and they've painted ANOTHER van in the engineering lab. A) We've got paint booths. They are nice. They are
expensive. They Work! B) Really, with the amount of grinding/welding/dust/everything else done in the shop, I can't imagine the paint job is really that good after an hour or so. C) Our air in the engineering department is sucked in from said engineering lab, one of the great mysteries is why that was done. Instead of leaving like I could, I decided to stay to try to finish up something else I was working on. Now, the paint fumes being funneled directly into our enclosed area are pretty fun. First, they tend to burn my eyes a bit, but it doesn't get worse with time, pretty much as soon as i come in contact with them they burn. Next, I can tell I'm getting rather high off them, every time I minimize a window, my desktop wallpaper, and icons just amaze me. This makes it a tad bit difficult to do real actual work, since my brain's operating at about 1/10th speed. So instead of doing real work, I'm just sitting here maximizing + minimizing windows.

Also I looked up the effects of using paint as a way to get high, and found this site. Here's the effects:

Dizzy rush. Alcohol-like intoxication. Distortion of senses and perceptions. Delusions of grandeur. Dizziness, euphoria, feeling of weightlessness. Dissociation from environment. Silliness, awkward movements, muscle weakness. Altered speech, slowed reactions, altered judgment. Sensitivity to light, double vision, dilated pupils, ringing in ears. Drowsiness, sleep, anesthesia, depression, hallucinations, delirium, disorientation.

And my checklist:

• Dizzy Rush--Not really


• Alcohol-like intoxication--2 beers


• Distortion of Senses and perceptions--Check


• Delusions of grandeur--How can I tell?


• Dizziness--a bit


• Euphoria--pretty happy


• Feeling of Weightlessness--hrm, not really


• Dissociaiton from environment--Yes


• Silliness--See this post


• Awkward movements--Typing speed=decreased and I keep hitting the wrong keys


• Muscle Weakness--Um....


• Altered speech--not that high


• Slowed Reactions--they're pretty impared right now


• Altered Judgement--not that high&


• Sensitivity to light--Eyes burning


• Double vision--Only see one monitor...for now


• Dilated pupils--let me go look....Hrm, don't know what size they usually would be. Looks normal to me.


• Ringing in ears--none


• Drowsiness--a bit


• Sleep--nope


• Anesthesia--Not even gonna test that..


• Depression--Not really


• Hallucinations--I can't focus on my monitor anymore.


• Delirium--Nope


• Disorientation--nope

I'd say the indications are good, I'm high.
