And I’ve had enough of feeling like dog shit every morning and being a slave to my coffee cup. Took 400mg of caffein each day Monday and Tuesday, 200mg yesterday, and nothing today. And I feel great! Aside from the splitting headache and the urge to stab anyone who looks at me… Anyways, yeah, back in the day crew. I was comissioning a new oxygen plant in south carolina for a couple of weeks. I finished doing my part to accelerate our inevitible march towards the eventual heat death of the planet, then took a few days off from NYStupid. I’m back. ---

I’m banking on alcohol picking up the slack. I did some experimenting at a couple of all-inclusives I’ve been to, and some alcohol in the morning will kill the headache if you don’t get enough coffee. ---

caffeinated coffee makes my heart hurt… don’t ask me why, I can drink anything else in the world with caffeine in it and have no problems. that said, I average maybe 1 decaf every 2 months ---

One addiction gone will lead towards another. I would suggest finding something new besides booze. :fyi: 😛 ---
