Damien at the Speed of Life

This post is from a series here called Coffee Vocab Tuesdays

I’m half-asleep when I get ready for work.  Some days putting my socks on takes too much effort, so I go sockless … the only problem there is I ruin whatever shoes I’m wearing — to be kind in my relaying of this event, they STINK!  So anyway, after ruining a couple pairs of shoes I’ve learned socks are not optional for me!  So I get them on along with running the razor across my head trying not to get a nick.  All the while I am thinking about how friggin cold it is and how long I can stay in the hot shower without being late for work.  But what was this post about?  Oh yes … coffee … my apologies ;)

I resurrected the Coffee Vocab series today for a couple reasons, 1) I wanted to bring back to your knowledge these past posts I have done in the series (I think they are rather hysterical) and at the same time I wanted to perpetuate a little humor.  I don’t think I have been funny enough around here lately.  Those who know me know I am purposely a humor-filled guy.

When I shop for coffee at the grocery store, I don’t look for the half cut shipping boxes of: Starbucks, Diedrichs, Seattle’s Finest, etc.  You might be surprised to find out I worked in a coffee house nearly 2 years and still have no interest in “high grown ban” that I suggestive sold all that time.  Nah, my best coffee is the cheap stuff.  Surprisingly that is usually Folgers but I have learned lately that “Chock-full-o-Nuts” is quite cheap.  Whatever the cheapest is, I get it.  My wife once told me it worked out to like 13 cents a cup that way whereas Starbucks is, as you know, well over a dollar now.  I put huge amounts in my coffee machine and brew just one cup.  I grab it, start to get awareness back and hop in my Jeep to go to work.

If I get to work and I forgot my coffee, I have supplies there to make one.  1) A Melitta drip top cup cover (hugely cool!!! Esp. in time of need) 2) Paper towel as a filter & 3) Virtually every old coffee cup we own hidden in my teaching cabinet … I really need to bring them all home someday!

If you get a few minutes, go back and help me revive the other Coffee Vocab posts.  I like to share my humor with the world, and they are far funnier than this one.  What was the high point you think, the stinky shoes? LOL.  Have a great day.
