Starbucks Withdrawls

January 23, 2005 – 4:13 pm

I’m usually at Starbucks every day working on my laptop, thanks to the high-speed internet connections at almost every sbux location. Of course, I usually get a coffee - not the $5 froofroo double caramel latte with foam, whipped cream and sprinkles - actual coffee. Plain coffee is only about $1.30 and has waaay more caffeine, which sometimes helps. But not recently.

I overdid the coffee intake 3 days ago and decided to cut back. OMFG. The withdrawls are intense. I have the worst headache imaginable and it’s been like this since yesterday around noon. This caffeine-induced headache reminded me of an unfortunate man who accidentally shot a nail into his head at a construction site (but waited a week or so to go to the doctors). This must be how he felt.

I think I will stick to herbal tea for a while…
