coffee blues

So now that I’m poor (and I mean really, really poor-$12 in my checking account for the next two weeks poor) I am trying to kick my expensive coffee habit, and it seems that it is not working as well as I had hoped. We have fairly decent beans at work right now for the “non-coffee snob” people who drink regular coffee, so I have been trying to drink that to wake me up in the morning. It’s been a rough go. What I can usually accomplish in one 16 oz espresso drink now takes 24 oz of the regular stuff. I had 3 cups of coffee this morning before I felt even remotely awake. It’s such a bad habit!

It’s sad that the way to my heart is paved with espresso beans and foamed milk. Give me a Starbucks gift card and I’ll love you forever!

A funny thing happened at work today....

This was a conversation yelled over cubicles today

Jordan: “Hey Brandon, does the word “brine” in French mean hoe?”
Brandon: “Mean what? Hope?”
J: “No, hoe.”

(assorted laughs and giggles)

Courtney laughing: “Hope?”
B: “Are you saying ‘hope’, or do you mean, like the slang term?”

(more laughs and giggles)

J: “You guys need to go to church. Hoe, H-O-E!”
