Was There Crack in my Coffee?

Yesterday was Friday and I felt a cold coming on. Since I wanted to finish out the work week, I bravely trudged into work swigging a 16 ounce mug of English Breakfast tea. Once the tea was gone, I decided I needed to keep drinking warm stuff, so I started on coffee. Less than an hour later, while upstairs in the "best" office kitchen, I came across a box of these huge saucer-sized amazing cookies, just sitting on the table for the taking. Choosing a raspeberry white chocolate delight, I happily munched while sipping (what else?) more black tea with milk and cream. Yum.
The only problem was, now I was JACKED UP with caffeine. I couldn't sit still, I was humming and had to restrain myself from Bursting into Song and skipping as I walked down the hall. Later that same hour, I was introduced to one of the partners of the firm and couldn't stop myself from gesturing wildly and repeatedly towards downtown (where I used to work) while describing my past employment history and yammering on and on about the project I was currently working on--all while rapidly jiggling my leg back and forth under the table. It was a disaster.
