Three weeks ago I was drinking no more than one cup of coffee a day, if that. Of course, I was also getting plenty of sleep and not working full time. Now less than two weeks after starting at the new gig, I’m back up to three or four a day, including but not limited to two cups of drip in the morning (one at home, one on my way into the office), another drip or a latte after lunch, and a now-essential double espresso between 3 and 4pm. Soon I’ll just begin having caffeine injected directly into my bloodstream, and my return to the addiction will be complete. I wonder how long until I start getting morning withdrawal headaches on weekends again?
