Fire Drill = Coffee Break

I blame todays excessive coffee indulgence on the EVIL fire drill. When a loud, continuous, irritating bell accompanied by something similar to a strobe light drives hordes of workers onto the sidewalk, what choice do we have but to assemble and march on down to starbucks? That's a no brainer. So in todays coffee travels, I ordered up a pumpkin spice latte. Tis the season after all. However, I definately enjoy the gingerbread latte much more and will remain a solid hazlenut and carmel fan until the gingerbread arrives. The pumpkin is just kind of odd-tasting. I imagine since it's new, it's probably not quite tweaked yet - but i'm not in the mood to give 'em another try on this one. I need assurance that my afternoon coffee will be nothing but a blissful warm and caffeinated experience. This quasi good pumpkin spice just isn't doin the trick. i like my coffee way to much...but that's fairly evident by this point.

Ah, and for those equally a slave to the bean, you may enjoy Shannon Wheeler's Too Much Coffee Man. I recently discovered that Shannon has a Live Journal where he posts comics. If only I could walk around with a giant coffee cup on my head too.
