Caffeinated

My in-laws asked me about my coffee habit, and what I said was “What coffee habit?”
The thing is that nobody in my in-laws family drinks coffee, whereas everybody in my family, including my dog, drinks about 2-3 cups of coffee every day. But it is an okay amount; it is much lower than other people who drink coffee by the gallons, some of them in fact have a tube injected through his arm and is connected to an Espresso machine.

I developed my coffee habit when I was taking my MBA. I had to stay awake and alert to write a 30 pages of report that was so boring even the typewriter was yawning. Luckily there were several vending machines that when I inserted 50c coins into, it would produce hot aromatic caffeine-infused sewage water. Well, at least it tasted like one.
But I had no choice but to drink the coffee everyday to open my eyes and activated my brain from screensaver mode. And since then I’ve been drinking coffee after my breakfast and lunch.

And now it has become a habit, I can feel the effect of the coffee. Without having a cup, I just cannot do anything useful, such as writing this blog, or remembering my own name. So now coffee it’s a must for me.
You might say that I am addicted to coffee, but I think of it as a way to wake me up, and it’s still harmless. If you don’t believe me, I will jump and scream at you. But unfortunately I cannot do that strenuous thing; I have not had my afternoon coffee.
