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.
Life lesson: you never have to feel ashamed of anything you buy as long as you buy a birthday card at the same time.
I was thinking about the whole duality of man thing this morning.
You know, the idea that humans have two contradictory parts in their nature yet somehow we can get the body and soul to exist together in harmony like a mystical/reality yin and yang of life.
Then I realized I really needed some coffee.
I'll never forget the first time I got into a memory foam pillow fight.
Some days you just need the finer things in life, like fresh coffee and croissants. So where's my personal chef and valet to bring them to me?
Anyone?
Anyone?
Bueller?
Bueller?
(grumbling) Fine, I'll go make them myself.
If cats had wings, they would still just lay there.
I will be responsible for my actions when my actions become more responsible.
Since it's October now, I guess it's time to get into Halloween mode.
"Tell the witches to cast a coffee spell!"
Today's random question: What's the weirdest food you've ever tasted?
Elementary school: "Okay so here's the basics of history." High school: "That's not right. Every thing is waaay more complicated." College: "EVERY THING YOU KNOW IS WRONG!!" History channel: "Aliens"
