  I lose count of how many times during the day I:

  a) Pick up my coffee cup, look into and find it's empty and evidently has been for some time..

  b) Idly reach out to pick up my cup and pad around uselessly til I realise there isn't a cup there..

  c) Drink from half full cup to find it's stone cold. In a siberian mud kinda way, not the refreshing chilled coffee type of way.. so I...

  d) Shamefully go to the microwave to reheat it only to find....

  e) A cold half cup of coffee in there....

  f) Go to retrieve a cup of coffee from the microwave the I've 'remembered' I'd forgotten...
  only to find there isn't one in there..

  I've got used to the degenerative coffee dance, only to find it's started happening with my shoes.

  Two cups in the morning here. I have one, and sometimes two, in the evening on weekends. Pretty easy to count.

  I used to be like you, though; I was just drinking way too much coffee (man — heh).

  Hahaha, awesome. Are you a stoner by any chance? Reading your post really reminded me of when I got stoned daily ... not just when I was stoned but at all times during that 12 month period, I would be going through those kind of dances all the time.

  haha, no stoning here.
  I used to be an all-day smoker and would accept this kind of thing as the norm..that crushing panic feeling as you realise the burning smell is something you've left on the stove or that you'd arranged to meet someone somewhere 2 hours ago, or getting back to dorms at college and realising you'd left your library books at one friends house, your bag at another friends and your coat at.....shit, where was that.....ah no - there it is hung up..

  It's not even that I'll drink that much coffee anymore.
  For a while for me 'coffee was the new weed'...something to become geekily interested in, and pore over minor details of water, brew, grind, get really anal about which blend etc...
  Now I'll just brew like a half-pot in the AM, have a couple of small cups whilst waking up, then it normally happens somewhere into the 3rd or 4th cup, then that's the end of the pot and I normally don't even bother to make another one..
  Shit.
  Even as I write this, Im looking over at a cup I know is empty. It's the bloody cup that prompted me to post this is the 1st place..

  I might have a nice cup of tea.
  Tea is the new X.
  Yeh.

  I once had a creative director who took to having the spiked liquid lunches 2-4 days of the week. As usual upon return she would scour the office for a tic tac or certs to mask the Jim, Johnny or Jack. This one day having come back from a particularly swinging lunch hour and coming up empty on the breath freshener, she resorts to pouring a tall cup of 6 day old coffee from French press on my desk.

  As I am stuttering my words in the vain hope of alerting her to the huge faux pas in our midst. She guzzles the unholy brew without hesitation and says "You sure do love your strong coffee, dont you"

  Why is hot coffee at room temp kinda gross, but iced coffee at room temp is ok?

  Same thing goes for tea...

  I do this all the time. All the time. I sometimes walk into a room and completely forget why Im supposed to be in there and what Im supposed to be doing. I wish I had the luxury of being able to blame it on weed but sadly no. Im kinda scared to think what I'll be like in my sixties if Im this bad now.
