All Hail the Great Fiend Caf!

Caffeine abuse!

Caffeine abuse!


I've already blown two deadlines (and gotten absolution) and in danger of screwing the pooch on a third. So this weekend was a make-or-break scenario for me.

So how much caffeine abuse is going on here? Well, I started my day at 7 am with high-test Earl Grey, hot. Lots of Earl Grey, hot. In the afternoon, I switched to diet coke. Evening -- Kona. Black. Lots of sugar.

I'm awake! I'm very awake! I'm forced-march productive!

I'm also very damn tired. Anyone want to take bets on when I actually get to sleep?


ETA: My body got my brain into a weird wrestling hold somewhere around 2:30 and forced it into unconsciousness. But I was awake again at 6:30. CafFiend brews. And here we go again...

Pfft. It's 4:30 AM and I bet I've got you beat. (Yes, this is a challenge!)

Damn. When I was in college, I thought all my programmer buds had the lock on caffeine addiction.

Obviously, this was before I met you. ;)

Good luck with the deadlines and the writing and--when you finally need to wind down--on being able to do so with all that caffeine in your system. Wow.

When I was in college this was normal for me. I've gotten old and slow and sleep-needy in the *cough* years since then.

I'm going to be a hurting meerkat on Monday. But that's Monday. I'll worry about it then.

The worried Jewish mother persona lurking inside of me keeps thinking "But what is this doing to your stomach and intestines?!"

On the other hand, I'm an insomniac without caffeine help--so I certainly can't throw stones.

Good luck with the deadlines....
