I've Had 3 Coffees This Morning But Not Drank One

And how is this possible?

1. Coffee #1 (from McDonalds) smelled so much like cigarettes I could not drink it. (YUCK!).
2. Coffee #2 (7-11) I knocked over reaching for something else. Great guys at 7-11, they first asked if I was ok; had a mop handy; and said get another coffee.
3. Coffee #3 sits to my right. Let's hope this one works.

So, how is YOUR morning going?

Promises

Ok, I've decided to write SOMETHING at least once a week.

SOMETHING

Just kidding. But I make no promises on quality of content. You get what you pay for folks . . .

So, on to Office Supply Stores.

I adore office supply stores.  As the offspring of a draftsman (ohh, such a non-PC word now!), I grew up with pencils, colored pencils (is it ok to call them colored?), more paper to draw on than I could have ever used, blueprints to unroll and draw on, erasers of every type, and gadgets for all the above (have you ever seen a manual grinder that dulls the tip of a pencil so it doesn't tear? I had one. Actually "manual grinder" sounds like a bad, but descriptive, porn name now that I think of it. But I digress.)

The point is (point. manual grinder. I slaaay me.) that when I walk into one of those cavernous shrines to work and the home office, I am filled with a sense of . . . well, hope.  Hope that I could be as organized, productive, and coordinated as all of the wares promise.

It hasn't happened yet, but I still get a warm sense of awe everytime those OfficeDepotMax doors open.
