It has to be the whipped coffee and frothed milk. It has to be. The last time I remember drinking so much coffee was when I was at a job I HATED. The only reason I’d drink it was to stay warm in such an extremely cold environment (temperature and shoulders) AND to give me a reason to get up from my desk after staring at jacked-up data and processes all day.
