My caffeinated life
My officemates and I were in the elevator on our way down to the smoking area. And as my usual 10-o'clock habit, I had my big coffee mug with me, the content of which is equivalent to two regular mugs, filled to the brim with not-quite-freshly-brewed-but-free-so-it's-better-than-instant brewed coffee.
Looking at the mug in my hand, my officemate asked, "How many mugs of coffee do you consume each day?"
I counted, and said, "Seven."
Laughter, which came out more of a snort because the woman was trying to contain it. A much older woman, a total stranger who was with us in the elevator. And more laughter from my officemates, who found it hard to believe that I could consume seven mugs of coffee in a day.
