Since I didn't go to college, I missed out on learning a few things. Most notably how to drink beer and coffee. At this point, I don't think I'll ever enjoy the taste of either. I also won't be able to handle the concentration of caffeine that comes from brewed coffee beans.
This theory was put to the test on our way out of SFO to Vegas. Centrally located in the "B" gates is a Peet's Coffee. Now I don't normally visit Peet's... So I can't say if it was an accident or if it's the way they do business, but I can tell you my Chai Tea had coffee in it. Not a ton. There was still soy milk and your typical sweet Chai mixture. I didn't even notice it at first. The Chai tasted bad... but I can drink a bad Chai no problem*. I was half way through it before I realize what the problem was.
Then the caffeine kicked in. All of a sudden I felt like a Fifth Grader in the middle of a math class. I wanted to do anything other than be there. Except there wasn't anything else to do. I sat there quietly grinding my teeth. Trying not to embarrass Lane by running down the tarmac so fast that my cloths would disintegrate. And wondering how I could possibly need to use the bathroom for the fourth time in 45 minutes.
I'll never understand how people get work done after drinking that stuff.
* Excluding that powdered crap Chicago calls Chai, but is clearly a baby formula created by the CIA to produce morally indifferent fighting machines.
