if there were no need for 'engineers from the quantum plenum' then we should not have any unanswered scientific questions.

If I was a high school teacher, I'd probably want to drink on the job, too.
But not caffeine  ;D

My last history teacher would drink about four cups in a seventy minute period. I never understood how he didn't have a heart attack. Cool guy though,  Russian.

I think some people are less susceptible to the effects of caffeine than others.  Your history teacher and I would be in that category.  I've never made myself sick or jittery with coffee, and I can drink it any time of the day or night and it doesn't keep me up.  I also don't get headaches or sick if I skip it for a couple of days.  But I do crave it, which makes me think my body likes the caffeine an awful lot.

I used to be like this and then I turned 25 and my body decided it was going to start developing sensitivities to many things.  :(
"We've thought of life by analogy with a journey, with pilgrimage which had a serious purpose at the end, and the THING was to get to that end; success, or whatever it is, or maybe heaven after you're dead. But, we missed the point the whole way along; It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing, or dance, while the music was being played.

I can most definitely relate.  I've never suffered withdrawal from lack of caffeine, if for some reason I happen to skip it one day, nor have I been subject to any extreme effects by consuming too much...

I also have a high tolerance for caffeine, though I don't regularly drink highly concentrated doses. I do get withdrawal headaches though. :(

We drink two large mugs each before we get out of bed (coffee-maker at the bedside).  Then we drink at least three more later on.  But when we're away from home and don't get so much coffee, we don't seem to notice any ill effects.  I suppose we're just used to the stuff but not addicted.  Or we're too old to react.  It beats me.

One more week...then holidays!:D


I can't wait to just be able to simply do what I want and kill time. ;D It's what I did the whole semester but that nagging feeling at the back of one's head that keeps reminding you that you have things to do is so annoying. No one needs that ;D

Today is my birthday.  I took the day off work, and just treated myself to a massage.  Later, I think I'll take a nap.
