Oh No, The Travesty!

As per the usual I am stuck in a hotel room again on business travel. Ah, the life of a salesman. What can you do.
Problem is, I love my coffee in the morning!
Most of the time the hotel room supplies coffee. But because I really love my coffee, I always keep a little jar of grounds handy along with some coffee filters so if there is not enough to satisfy my coffee needs, I can just use my own coffee.
I also usually keep packets, and request extra packets from time to time from the front desk to make sure I have plenty of extra when I want it.
Luckily that was the case this time since my room was only supplied with a single packet of decaffeinated coffee—
And under no circumstance do I drink decaffeinated coffee!
I could just go to the front desk and say hey, gimme some coffee, buster. But I have plenty on hand so I won't bother.

I wish I could drink decaffeinated... but I think that it would take too long to break the need for real coffee!!

@porwest That's the thing... I don't think that I get a boost??? I find coffee really relaxing for some reason!!

@Hate2Iron I am not sure if I really get a boost either actually. I think my body is immune to caffeine. That being said, in the morning, it does help me to poop.

Glad you have plenty of coffee on hand. I think you have coffee down to a science and won't be running out.

Decaff only, what's going on with that. Thats when you wait for the cleaning cart to be in the hallway and grab your own coffee from it!!!

Well that is very smart to travel with your own, just to be safe. Never know when you may need it!

What is a morning without caffeine jerking the nerves, propelling the veins into action,. 
Hey, ha ha, this is such a funny but very deep post
You narrated a usual scenario on the life of a salesman which may sound self-deprecating but in truth, it is all we are. 
Brilliant.

Why do they have to supply a decaff? I can't drink that as well.

That is good that you keep it and have a stock so that you will not worry.
