I really need coffee. I have to walk my daughter to school this morning. I left my keys in the other car and it is at her work right now.

I called and told them I was having "car trouble".

GE, do you have that "IDIOT" stamp handy? Could you stamp me right in the middle of the forehead, please?

GuinivereElise · Post by **GuinivereElise** » Mon Jan 10, 2005 8:41 am

oh, Geekie... i'm sorry...

but I will NOT use the IDIOT stamp on you, no matter how many times you ask me!

*big mug of coffee for geekie*

Kisses will help: *kisses*

*slides cupp o' french press over BHA's way*

good morning, Bucket. And how are you this fine morning? (I know it's not morning there, I realize, but it's still morning here, and, really, this is all about ME)

buckethead alien · Post by **buckethead alien** » Mon Jan 10, 2005 8:51 am

It is all about you, babe.

Things are fine out this way. January, you know.

GuinivereElise · Post by **GuinivereElise** » Mon Jan 10, 2005 8:54 am

yes, January. That's one of the reasons I just replaced bad bulbs in my store (and in the bar)... I'm needing more LIGHT!

Yello, J. I am making a drip pot right now with some Java isle beans. The grinder scares the bejeezus outta tha dogs, but fuck 'em. Be up in a minute. I had a French press, but dropped the glass part.

GuinivereElise · Post by **GuinivereElise** » Mon Jan 10, 2005 9:04 am

Wasn't full at the time. I still have the metal bits around here somewhere in case I get off my ass to order a replacement. How long do you let your coffee steep in yours, anyway? Mine never came out right. Maybe I ground the beans too fine.

And now....let's have a cup.

Sounds like a perfect morning kickstart. I am not wanting to be here today. I even brought a DVD in to play in the background while I work. I am so bad of an employee.

Nawww, big mug o joe and a large glass of cj, please.

GuinivereElise · Post by **GuinivereElise** » Mon Jan 10, 2005 9:19 am

aw, fuckit, buckit... just go to a thrift store.. I always see full sets there for about a buck...

I let mine steep for about 5... but yes, too finely ground will be bad... then it gets all gritty...

also, I use more grounds than I would in a conventional coffee maker...

but I also like my coffee really dark...

dj: why are you a bad employee? You're not supposed to have music??

GuinivereElise · Post by **GuinivereElise** » Mon Jan 10, 2005 9:19 am

I knew what you meant heli... just giving you a hard time...

*winks*

helitack · Post by **helitack** » Mon Jan 10, 2005 9:23 am

I like to drink my coffee with a fork.

GuinivereElise · Post by **GuinivereElise** » Mon Jan 10, 2005 9:28 am

okay, I'm off to actually do some work. I'm not letting myself back on until some paperwork is done.

See you all in a bit...

GuinivereElise · Post by **GuinivereElise** » Mon Jan 10, 2005 9:41 am

hmph. that took a lot less time than I was expecting.

okay, I'm back...

geekster · Post by **geekster** » Mon Jan 10, 2005 10:04 am

GuinivereElise · Post by **GuinivereElise** » Mon Jan 10, 2005 10:05 am

helitack · Post by **helitack** » Mon Jan 10, 2005 10:06 am

I am kind of partial to truck stop coffee on occaision. Earthy, been on the burner since the Nixon administration kind of coffee.

buckethead alien · Post by **buckethead alien** » Mon Jan 10, 2005 10:06 am

Tisha! Geekster! GE! It's a Par-tay!

I am off the phone and trying to decide whether to go back to the office or enjoy the silky silence of a Monday afternoon at home alone.

I'll have to go out eventually to get a few things in the mail, but perrrrrhaps, I'll jus stick around here a bit and see what unfolds.
