Caffeined Out

It was a poor night of sleep last night, and this morning....on my way to a German language class in town.....I stopped to have a double-espresso. 

For those from Bama who've never had an espresso....it's a shot-like container with about 80 to 110 milligrams of caffeine in it, which you balance against a large cup of coffee which would normally have about 120 milligrams of caffeine in it.  Some German coffee shops make 'low', and some go to the 110 level. 

So I stood there and asked for the double....at a shop which goes for the max level....so I was set to get 220 milligrams of caffeine....in a fairly small cup.

Well....the lady accidentally punched the button twice.  So I ended up with a larger sized espresso cup, with four shots of 110 milligrams each. 

About 30 minutes into the class, I came to realize how wired up I was and focused to the max.  It's not something I would suggest to folks to binge upon.
