I never realize how much I swear until I’m in a situation where I can’t, dammit.
Beans falling, rolling
water spilling in darkness
first brew of the day
Picture Darth Vader singing "A Few of My Favorite Things" and you'll have some idea of the kind of thoughts that go through my head daily.
It's time to seize the day and carpe that damn diem into submission before it does something unwanted. And, oh yeah, maybe it's also time for coffee... 😎 ☕
It never ceases to amaze me that the little space between the drivers seat and the center console in my car will fit any object that can possibly be dropped, but will not fit a hand.
I’m always impressed when I can stump auto-correct.
You can't buy happiness, but you can buy coffee, and that's pretty close.
I put on my pants like everyone else. Right after the security guard in Target says "Sir, we're going to have to ask you to leave."
I drive all the way out to my office to learn the staff meeting has been cancelled. And to think I actually put on pants today.
Today's random question: If I have 10 ice cubes and you have 11 apples, how many pancakes will fit on the roof?
"You have one phone call."
"Can I call an Uber?"
"No."
"Damn."
I know mine and that's it. Everything else is stored in my phone. If I ever get arrested and told I can have one phone call, I'd have no idea who to call.
I wonder what the part of my brain that used to store telephone numbers is doing nowadays...
Not sure why, but I'm feeling a bit prickly this morning. Probably a good thing I work from home.
It’s the first week of October, and eggnog is already in the stores. 🤦♂️
It's kind of patronizing when a computer asks you to prove you're not a robot.
♫ ♪ The best part of waking up, is ♪ ♫ ... well, waking up of course. After that, though, coffee is a very close second.
