I Love Coffee!

Why?! Well that’s simple, I able to function on only 3 hours of sleep!

Now you may ask why I only have 3 hours sleep. Well that also is simple, and if you are a hacker I’m sure you’ve had this experience more than once in your life and most likely in the past couple of weeks.

You are up against a hard bug and need to ship the product soon. So you spend until 11:30 pm trying to fix it before you give up and decide that you are doing more damage than good. So now it’s time to make the 45 minute commute home on the 280. Half way home you come up with what could be the fix, so once you get home you jot it down and decide it’s probably better for you to get some sleep and fix the bug in the AM. Well guess what? Your mind says, “Dude, you think I’m going to let you sleep? No way, you are going to think about this until you fix it” I hate when my mind does this to me! So yes you get out of bed and try your fix! Well this time mine didn’t work and kept me up until 2pm in the process. Now I’m supper pissed and need to get some Zs, so I try to crawl back in bed. Of course my mind is still spinning and the only way to solve this problem is a heavy dosage of the mind melting Boob Tube! It worked perfectly until I woke up the fantastic “Girl Gone Wild” DVD infommercial at 5am, of course I couldn’t make it back to sleep. So it’s back to trying to fix the bug, before I know it’s 7am and time to take a shower and leave for work.

This is where my friend the Glorious Coffee Bean comes in clutch. Man, I love that bean!
