Maybe it’s because we recently moved our offices downtown. But now many people in our office are behaving like Hollywood actors. They’re all getting B12 shots. Awhile back, the announcement went out that every month someone would come to the office to dole out the vitamin (I pronounce it “vit-uh-min”) for $15 per prick. A guy in a white lab coat (so official!) occupies a conference room, and a steady stream of saleswomen parades in to see him (in sales, they can afford it).
So what’s the deal? Does your office do it, too? Should I tie off and put the spike in? Is it worth $15?
Update: I guess we’ll find out. I succumbed to peer pressure. I mean, if Zac is gonna do it, then I’m sure as hell not going to not do it. Question: should it worry me that the injector’s nametag identifies him as “director of business development”?
Update: This keyboard is the most amazing thing I’ve ever touched in my whole life. God, I want to touch it more! And these people I work with! Man, I LOVE them. [grinding teeth]

You could just go get a five hour energy bottle. 8333% of the daily allowance of B12.
5 Hour = Good Stuff
I wish I had $15 for each prick around here.

Our company has been doing the B12 for about 4 years. Helps keep everyone healthier and that’s an awesome thing!!!
Ewwww, good one Nancy – (high five)!!!!
There’s something Outlandish (Sean Connery movie reference) about a company having a B12 guy come in and administer things so the miners, er, employees can work at a more intense rate…
adderall is superior. Though beware of shrinkage…
Placebo effect.
Generally speaking, unless you have a gastrointestinal problem, or are a strict vegan, you don’t need B12 supplements. If you were to stop eating all meat and dairy products today, it would take YEARS to deplete your body’s B12 stores (liver is chock full of the vitamin).
But hey, if it stimulates the economy, who cares?
Be careful with adderall, too many, you have seizures. It’s not a good drug!!!
