Yesterday at work I drank about five cups of coffee. I usually don't drink that much a day, but the night before I only got three hours of sleep. So the extra coffee was a must if I was going to survive eight hours staring at a computer screen. Around 3 pm, as I was trying to concentrate on my work and not get distracted by the endless tentacles of the internet, a small thought crossed my mind. Somehow it occurred to that me giving up coffee would be a good idea. The thought process was as fast as that. No deliberation, no weighing of pros and cons. No thought of slowly trying to ween myself off. Just quit. A rashly made decision which will no doubt have tremendous repercussions on my life.
This blog will be about those repercussions. Today is Saturday, and I have had a slight headache, but nothing too bad. I got to sleep in, and didn't have to work. All I have done today is bum around Chicago with my friends. An easy day, and the slight headache doesn't affect me too much. Monday morning will be rather unpleasant. I will scowl at everyone on the train. And I will not be able to concentrate well at work. I will be an unpleasant person. Hopefully Sunday provides me with some good mental preparation and relaxation so I can survive the working world without caffeine.
This is going to hurt.
