Wake Up Call

Friday the 30th

Gentle Friends,

A sure sign you're not yet awake: pouring coffee in your oatmeal.

Fortunately I caught myself more or less in time.

I shudder to think of the consequences had I not.

I shudder to think of the consequences had I not.

Coffee-flavoured oatmeal is both shuddersome and delicious at the same time. Next time, stay not the hand that pours, but consider the time saving inherent in porridge which both stimulates and satiates!

I am in an odd mood today, and therefore apologise in advance.

Never apologise for an odd mood.

Not to me, anyway.

When's the book coming, eh?

You know, that might actually be kind of tasty with a creamy steel-cut oatmeal.

I like the cut of your jib.

Now that is just funny!

Now that might be good if it was say a strawberry-mocha latte!

Yeah, but be careful not to spill any on your dress. What the hell happened to *coffee* flavored coffee?

Oh, heck, I do stuff like that all the time even when I'm fully awake.

Open a prepacked sandwich. Remove sandwich from wrapper. Place wrapper on plate. Throw sandwich in trash. Place plate in microwave.

Etc...

Mentioned this posting to my friend Dave who said:

Much, Much, MUCH worse: You have to go to work dead tired. At the office, the coffee maker sits between the refrigerator and the printer. Barely awake, you grumble that nobody else has had the forethought to brew a pot, so you take on the gargantuan task yourself. Fortunately, the concentration required to fill the basket with grounds and walk to the fountain to fill the pot with water is enough so that you wake up and catch yourself just fractions of a second before you are about to pour the ten cups of water right into the printer, just as your boss is sending a print job.....

I still don't understand why my boss didn't find that amusing.... After all, I didn't actually pour more than a drop or two, did I?
