Coffee in a cardboard cup

[cyrano]

Note to self: I hope that someday you learn that caffeine *will* keep you awake, but not in any useful fashion; it will, instead, make you anxious and upset and unable to focus on any given task for more than fifteen seconds. It is not worth it.

In the three or so weeks before the launch of a big project on May 8 (or thereabouts), I was consuming much caffeine, mostly in the carbonated form. I think the biggest highlights for me were frequent urination and ugly teeth. It did nothing to improve my mood -- pretty much just made me even more irritable than the project was already making me.

After launch, I cut it out almost completely, and I don't miss it.

So the moral of the story is that caffeine is a poor substitute for competent project management.
