'BOU FIX

I have come to the realization that Caribou Coffee causes a drug-like reaction in my body. I have always been a fan, more so during the summer because their line of "Coolers" make for the perfect summer drink. Yesterday before work I bought a medium caramel cooler and I must say, it really made my work day more bearable. I have been extremely sick of work lately because I have been getting scheduled 6 days a week working 3pm-9pm shifts whereas I normally work 5 days a week with 1pm-9pm shifts. One day off per week is a drag but yesterday I was definitely bringing my "A game". I pounded out at least 30+ projects in the time I was there and gave my supervisor next to no chance to micromanage me as he usual does. I was in a good mood, energized, and time went by fast. I blame you Mr./Mrs. Caribou cooler.

Makes me wish they were more like 3 bucks or something rather than $4.60. I would definitely buy them all the time if it meant better, more enjoyable work days. I have a hard time believing this is all just a result of caffeine intake because I have never really been affected much by it over the year. Rather, I think it is a combo of the delicious taste, whipped cream, caramel drizzle, and icy texture that makes it so uplifting on a summer day when you would much rather be doing something else other than stocking fruit and vegetables at Cub Foods for 6-8 hours. Oh and yes, I am drinking another one as I write this... it went perfect with a short cruise on the outskirts of town in this weather!
