No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

I hope in the hours since you've found some healthy respite, ita.

I dislike having meetings run by people in the late afternoon who don't know how to keep it on focus or end it. I just wanted to go home...

Mmmmmmm. I just had dark chocolate with ginger and red wine. So good.

it seems the best way to do intermittent cups of coffee.

Well, you could go low tech like I do

One cup filter

I have that for travel now that I'm a French press pot woman. Used to be my main coffee maker when I was a one cup, not 3. Ish.

So this weekend I had cleared off and decluttered my coffee table. I've now bruised/scraped both knees on its corners. Maybe I needed the clutter to notice its spacial location...

My sister-in-law makes pottery, and she made us one of those pour-over filters: [link]

not your mom's socks.

I've just read 285 posts.

Ita, I'm sending you all the good "make shit work out" vibes I can. Brenda, how's your dad's foot?

We have an aeropress that we love, but we dream about espresso fairly often.

I have absolutely zero love for a certain recruiter who practices bait-and-switch tactics on busy biochemists. Zero.

Foo. Didn't get one of the jobs I had some hopes for.

Watching last night's Sleepy Hollow and eating leftover TJ's sushi.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I'm a fan of pour-over coffee, but rarely have the time in the morning. French press and pour over are for days when I have time to putter over my coffee.

You should sit in our after school meetings. Even though I don't run them and I have a boss who is all about self-narration, I do a pretty okay job with saying, "Okay, so for the minutes, what should I say about this action item?"
