More things that never change
1. My preference for caffeine. Notice I never said anything about addiction? I refuse to label it that. I hate that word and I think it is used way too much in situations where it doesn’t belong. Kind of like my thoughts on internet addiction. I have a strong preference for coffee. The good kind. The kind made from the Stars and costing much Bucks. To hell with the drip coffee.
The worst part about it is that coffee and my stomach do NOT mix well. One cup and it rips my insides out. Every time I have a really bad day due to coffee consumption, I tell myself it’s not worth it and vow to give up coffee. Like today. And here it is at 9am and I am going to finish this and go get myself a hot steaming mug full of intestinal torture coffee.
2. My level of annoyance for spam mail. Now, at home I don’t mind it too much. It’s really easy to spot and it just gets deleted on sight. At least the stuff that makes it through my maze of filters.
Oh - and for that one particular person who knows who they are any friends of mine with my email address but all you ever use it for is sending forwards from your email? Yeah - you get your very own filter and your shit is deleted only seconds after it lands in my mail server. I never even see it hit my inbox. Did you really think that is why I gave you my email address? Seriously.
Ok, but at work - the spam is really annoying because it is usually from vendors that we may or may not work with, so I usually go ahead and open their email just in case. It’s always some solicitation, and you know it’s just not cool to be soliciting me at work.
In other news: update on the alarm clock/morning wake-up situation:
I give it a week.
