Right. So for those of you who don't know part time job is doing media analysis on US politics and the banking and financial industries. It's been a rough week.

Right now, I'm working on data about the "collapse" of Canary Wharf.

That is, the inevitable financial real-estate mess as all its tenants go bankrupt. But really? I have to do this? And I can't drink coffee? Are you fucking serious?

I don't know what it is. I just know that if I have so much as a _sip_ of coffee or black tea I shake for 4 to 8 hours and have heart palpitations, panic attacks, etc. Other things with caffeine, no problem. Although I don't drink any sort of soda or cola with caffeine so there's no data there. I try coffee every few years to see if it still happens, and it still happens.

And wow, the acronym for our fic looks remarkably like INHIBIT to my tired eye. Weird. Thank you for the kind words, however.

That happens to me when I drink coffee or tea. I talked to my doctor about it, and she suggested that it was the concentration of caffeine is different in them. So, there's lots of stuff to balance out the caffeine in chocolate, but not as much in tea or coffee. So, it's like there's nothing keeping the caffeine from absorbing all at once. Although, I'm not sure how that would explain your tolerance for Red bull. (I've never tried it, so no idea if I would be fine on it...)

I try not to drink it, because I'm sure it must be terrible for me and it's not cheap, but the thing is I really like it, although it's rare that I'll have it more than even a couple of times per year (although I may have rediscovered the "charm" of mixing it with vodka at Dragon*Con).

Don't do that anymore. It will.
