Coffee Dilemma

Since I like Thunder more than sleep during this time of year I bought coffee on my way home from work Tuesday afternoon that way I could stay up the entire game.  Dozing off in the fourth quarter is not an option anymore.  You can read why here.

I thought I was being smart by buying McD's coffee instead of Starbucks 1.) because it is way cheaper and 2.) because it's not as strong.  I get to stay up during the game and go to sleep immediately afterwards.

Wrong.  Drinking any kind of coffee beverage after 5 is not a good idea, no matter where it comes from.  Needless to say, I was up well after midnight.  Oh, the things I put myself through for basketball.

My alarm went off at 6 a.m.  What was the first thing I did?  Made coffee.  Yup.  It's amazing how one can hate something so much one minute and love it less than 6 hours later.

So this is what I took my coffee in to work this morning.

JUST KIDDING!  I didn't.  I wanted to.  But I didn't.  I just like this thermos because it's gigantic, old, and it reminds me of the oilfield, mines, or any other dirty, hard, manly job.  Does anyone else make that connection?  Maybe I'm just weird.  Actually, the latter sounds more probable.

I did take this to work filled with delicious dunkin donuts coffee.

Size comparison.  I made the right choice.  As my dad would say I would have been wound tighter than an eight day clock (I think that's how it goes...) if I took the thermos.

The moral of the story is coffee breeders need to find a caffeine gene that automatically senses when one wants to fall asleep and therefore deactivates all ability of caffeine to keep someone awake.
