There’s a coffee club at work. People who are part of this club have access to an espresso machine, complete with beans and different flavoured syrups to make some great lattes. The cost is about….$10 or so every month or so. If you think about it, that’s an awesome deal. I mean, a decent sized latte at the local coffee joint can cost up to $5.

Every afternoon, at 3 p.m., the other Jason and I have been venturing to the kitchen to fix ourselves a double shot. It helps us get over the mid-afternoon slump. It’s almost ritual by now, which is fun, but I’m starting to worry about the effects. I think I may have developed a mild dependency on strong coffee. I get irritable when I don’t get my drink. I need the “kick to the face”. I don’t want to try to quit drinking the coffee though, because if I’m going to pay money to be part of the club, I’m going to damn well make sure I get use of my membership.
