as i headed down the hallway just now, empty 16-ounce coffee mug in hand, my coworker teased me, “no more coffee!”

the other day someone saw me getting a refill at around 1500, and stopped, quasi-aghast, to inquire as to how the heck i could be still drinking coffee so late in the day. folks, i feel about coffee the same way several of my friends feel about beer: if you can’t handle at least eight pints in the course of a day (or evening), you’re an amateur. … also, if i hear another person complaining that no iPod is good enough for them because it won’t hold their 160GB music collection… seriously, y’all. you don’t need to take everything with you at all times. let’s have some perspective here: twenty years ago we were all feeling really badass because we had tape players that would auto-reverse.
