Java, I am still your bitch
January 28th, 2008
This long weekend was to be my independence from caffeine weekend.
It didn’t turn out that way.
Last year I kicked coffee to the curb but then when I started contracting on a big project that had ten to twelve hour days and six to seven day weeks I started drinking it again and dropping Nodoze. I carried this on into the next contract and have been drinking a ‘grande’ each morning and a couple of colas throughout the day.
So I wanted to drop the habit again but if you remember (if you are a regular) what it was like last time it was fairly awful and I was out of commission for three days. Then I was sickly for the couple of days following. I figured with the long weekend it would be cool to get rid of it and be back at work Tuesday.
Six hours in and my head started vibrating in a familiar fashion to a jack-hammer. The yawns began and the vision went blurry. I dropped the defences and sought out the nearest coffee house and sucked that soothing drug down.
So this is not the right time of the year to detox - surely I have holidays coming???
