My Last Two Brain Cells

A description of what remains of one’s mind after slogging through excessive work, living on low sleep or poor nutrition, or dealing other people’s bullshit.

Wow, I did nothing but grind on schoolwork from August to December. My last two brain cells are going to play some Minecraft.

My last two brain cells are running on Chicken McNuggets for breakfast and 3 hours of sleep, so I probably won’t be able to finish the report by the deadline.

My boss whines every day about how lazy I am, even though I work 80 hours a week. My last two brain cells are not cut out for this shit.
