Hungry

I'm hungrily scarfing Fritos in an attempt to make up for the fact that I didn't stick with my decaf only in the afternoon policy. Although i was not in my normal routine. I had an afternoon starbucks while coming back from Ikea. Yes i was shopping during work hours, and for work to boot. The reasons aren't important but I have concluded that drive up starbucks take considerably longer than fast food and you don't even get that happy coffee purchase feeling. Now in retrospect i should have gotten a frap because I don't' even like the starbucks house blend. While suffering from caffeine induced hunger i made a bolt for the snack machine.

Really it is time to go home i don't want a cup of 5pm sludge.

Decaf Day 2

So I'm at super low energy today. I could barely keep focus over a lunch meeting. And I have meetings this evening. I am going to need to start doing something different in the routine.

But I'm sticking to decaf in the PM. At least my energy level won't spike any more than it already is.

Afternoon D

I've decided to switch to afternoon decaf. All the caffeine in the PM really is brining me down. So in an effort to get healthy I'm making the switch.

It seems to be helping too. This afternoon I'm filling out the form for CA's design competition. I'm crossing my fingers that our viewbook will get in this year. The previous book was recognized for illustration and I want the design to get some props.

Upgrading to to Macbook Pro!

Digital Drop

Eyes bulging from spending too much time in front of the screen, I finally have a complete email collection. Thats right all the major media outlets now have an inbox nice and empty for me. Yahoo was the last to get me, and I did hold out as long as I could. But yahoo groups needed me to get an email to see what people I know are up to. Staying organized now means having more than ever. Especially when it comes to user names and passwords. Honestly I can't even remember how i log into blogger. I just try my complex combinations of password/usernames until somehow the gates are unlocked. Maybe in heaven we'll just have one email, one inbox, one user name, and since its heaven... no passwords.

my wayward drip-drop

So dispite my best intentions and lack of efforts I can't seem to make it to blogger once a day to record my sometimes multiple afternoon drips. Shame on me.

Today feel thin and transperent. I stayed extreemly late at the office to basically accomplish nothing but make a few scans and start a twitter account. I know if I can't blog why would I go twitter. Well no harm in trying is my motto.

it has already been a long week

There is an office supplies (or shipping) commercial where the guy in the office is always shouting about how busy he is. Yelling "CANT TALK" or "BUSY BUSY BUSY." I'm afraid this is what i have become. running around a small confined space yelling about expense reports and really doing no work at all, ever. i'm just wondering how long I can hold out until eventual burnout and deep psychotic irrationality.

I'm sure my coworkers think I'm snobby and self-centered, I honestly don't know the last time I had a conversation with someone at work that was outside of a task or need. I did find myself talking to a plant the other day... OK I lied I was actually talking to the copier. pleading and coaxing that it would dispense my documents qucikly and efficently.

so i'm drinking this drip out of a styrofoam cup in hopes that i'll be hospitalized and sent home on vacation.

OverRoasted

Coming out of hibrenation today.

Out of respect to all the drips that I have drunk while not bogging, I'm going to take a long slurp for you all just now. . . . . . . .

Ahh.

IKEA

Well today I was expecting to drip on the road while driving to ikea. Shopping during the work day, oh gosh you might say. No big deal when the boss is the one driving. But like I said I was expecting this to happen, but instead that trip was canceled and turned into a conference call and planning meeting. Too bad because I was looking forward to a Swedish slurp and meatballs.

ITS MONDAY

OK so this weekend I bought my first motorcycle and now afternoon drips don't really do it for me today. This whole coffee at work thing is so dull when all I can think about is getting out on the open road. It is a bummer that I need to take a few weeks before I can really ride it and get out on the street.

But it is Monday and we have HUGE redesign project coming up and I am really excited about it.

Sharp Shooting Pain in my Ass

Today's drip was slurped while hovering outside the presidents office. I was waiting to hear the solution as to how we were going to handle a current terror threat. While no one from my organization was in any immediate danger there were parts of our constituency who were greatly concerned with our proximity to the danger. It all turned out to be much adieu about nothing but city officials were not crying wolf. Dispite the eventual lack of danger I needed to abandon my cup halfway through to respond to the need for information. So now as I sit growing increasingly tired by the day. I probably would be ok right if I where able to finish that coffee.

Another Meeting Drip

Well how many posts can remain fresh when they are grounded in an office. How many people can remain fresh when they are constantly grounded in an office. Which reminds me of days in grade school where being sent to the office was a bad thing. Now many of us spend our most wakeful hours hounding these infernal grounds. Maybe this is the secret to unlocking the evil of the corporate empire. hmm.

In Black

Well today is a sad drip. As we are mourning with two separate colleagues who have lost loved ones recently. It has been an awful month in that way. The Ides of March are upon us and whoa to Ceasar if he is anywhere about.

Official Drip

Today's drip splashed across town into the City-County Building for a meeting with the public works office. Where city planning for the all star game this summer is in full swing. There are a few good ideas up in the air as we plan to make this city artcentric. We'll probably have future drips in the official city-county building within the next few weeks. So I hope they keep that coffee pot happy.

as a dog

No coffee for me today. I am out and down for the count. just earl gray and oj.

Bla

This drip is coming to you from under the weather. I'm starting to get a spring cold. So this drip isn't doing much for me today. Although I must report on the best open house invitation ever. I just returned from the printer and the color comp is smoking. I think we'll have to get police at this event for crowd control.

Friday Funkytown

Well finally I have a reader. At least that I'm aware of. Even my cubemates don't log in daily to get a fresh drop. Is it possible that I'm not the center of attention all the time. Well gosh. Even those people who somehow connect the dots and find that maybe I've based a character after them don't tune in to get the grinds.

Busy day today updating friends on mypsace and pacing around waiting for an ebay delivery (that isn't going to arrive until monday, double gosh). But I've got a meeting scheduled for next week with the mayors office and hopefully we'll finally get the ok to pave that park across the way and make a parking lot.

Paving the Yellow Brick Road

Today we are listening to the boards of canada. A smooth song that i was lucky enough to also find as a ringtone for my cell phone. For me this drip today is a long time coming. Why. Well note to self if you take a day off in the middle of the week coming back on Thursday is like starting on a Monday. I've been distracted by getting things organized for the next few weekends. Both of which I'll be working, so for all you hardcore drip fans check in on sat.

sip slurp.

Tusday is like a Hampster Wheel

Today's drip isn't very tasty. As a matter of fact it tasts like the rat poision that it really is. I drinking this drip while listening to fat boy slim beap and buzz in my ear. Which usually isn't much of a bad thing but hearing these repetative sounds over and over makes me feel like a drone doomed to complete the same little tasks over and over.

The Rabbit Hole

Sometimes, if you work in an office with three plastic walls surrounding you, one can beging to envy alice in wonderland. I heart friday afternoon. umm ya, Scratch that. today is that friday that i can't stop staring at the clock because I have a jampacked fun weekend in the works. And while I've got some sweet plans; this friday is taking too long and then the weekend will go by too fast.

Oh man and this blog is supposed to be about coffee not ranting about your lame afternoon. Well i'm slurping a cup as i type... yep. it's an afternoon drip.

Cheers to the weekend.
