So I go to orientation at my college yesterday. After leaving I stop by the local coffee palace. I ask the cashier if they are hiring, and proceeded to tell her working in this particular coffee place is my dream job. I also asked her if I could rent one of the booths to use as my dorm room.

I going to join in the "There's no such thing" crowd. I was a TOC Toad for a lot of years, and nothing would ever get done if there wasn't a big urn of strong brown TOC Juice.

No such animal. I'm hooked up to a coffee IV with a caffeine enema bag for the quick boost. I sweat caffeine.

When the caffeine become non-effective. I've drank coffee for years and I can still take a nap mid-morning or get into bed at bed time...no problems here. I just drink it for the taste.
