I dont expect you to know I have 2 exams this week, 2 critiques, a paper and 2 assignments all due before I go away on Monday. I don’t expect you to know that caffine after 4pm is a surefire way to make me stare at the ceiling all night. I don’t expect you to know that sleeping pills make me bitchy and tired in the morning. so when i fucking say “decaf”… i actually mean “decaf”….
your establishment routinely screws up my drink. I’m going to the SUB for Tims from now on.

stop whining .
theWeedhog, you’re a moron.
OP, you should speak to someone “in charge” at the establishment if they routinely mess up the caff/decaf aspect of your coffee.
Wait until you get a job. I wish all I had to worry about were exams and shit.
What’s a point of decaf coffee anyway?
What’s next, a nice refreshing no-alchohol beer?
You’re unable to function after a simple cupppa Joe?
Say, you’re no going into medicine, or flying, or anything that affects my health and safety are you?
Or a doobie minus the THC?
ahhh mr woof is a real intelligent one quessed it right fella least i didn’t call you a fag like ya are
jesus, a cupper before bed, puts me right the fuck out.
I am indeed an intelligent one. I use complete sentences and punctuation! And I can contribute slightly more to a discussion than “stop whining”. Also, “fag” is such a passe insult. Better luck next time!
Actually, given how the OP says I can’t drink caffeine after 4 pm, I think the effect is psychosomatic rather than the actual caffeine effect on their body. I used to think the same way, but now I’ll usually have a couple of cups (french-press) after supper (usually around the 6:30 – 7:00 mark, depending how lazy I feel) and I’ll fall asleep around the 12 am mark. OP, I bet you drink caffeinated pop after 4 pm and fall asleep. The average can (355 ml) of pop has approximately 45 mg of caffeine of per serving, and if you have a standard bottle of pop (591 ml) you’ve consumed approximately 76 mg of caffeine, not to mention the amount of sugar you ingest, which is also provides energy. Now, depending on the brewing method, coffee ranges at about 75-145 mg per 355ml serving. The math doesn’t add up, unless you strictly stick to water after 4 pm or you’re drinking an obscenely large cup of decaf.
While I understand your woes, OP (caffeine fucks with my stomach and I’d take a night of sleeplessness over the other horrors it provides), exactly HOW long did you know you had to do all these critiques and assignments? I doubt they were assigned last week.
It always makes me laugh (in that point and…kinda way) when students bitch about how they have allll this work at the end of the term, while their assignments have been assigned since september. Sure I leave mine to the last minute too, but you don’t ever hear me bitch about how stressed I am about it– it’s my own fault I’m doing shit two days before it’s due.
What also pisses me off is how students will skip classes (namely the last one) and be all “so what’s on the exam?” to profs/other students. Don’t fucking expect the prof (or me for that matter) to take time out to fill you in on what’s going to be on the exam if you were too lazy to drag your ass to class.
“I don’t expect you to know that caffeine after 4pm….”
Well, instead of a cup of joe you could have had a V8. Really though. There’s other shit to drink besides coffee, decaf or not. Milk, juice, water and caffeine-free soda are all available.
It’s all in your head, OP
BTW, drink water
the 4pm thing tells me it’s in their head, though if they don’t drink pop and do then have the occasional coffee, it can wire you for sound…. though you should be crashin a bit after and certailny not ALL night
