What is in your cup? - Page 1090

ProfCrash · 11-03-2011, 09:57 AM

I was the only daughter with three brothers. No one bothered to ask me what I was doing in the bathroom for an hour at a time.

Pot one of Rooibos Cream Caramel. I need it to warm up and lower my blood pressure.

OK, so my high blood pressure means that I am in everyone elses normal ranger and I finally have a pulse...

So I work at a building with 1400 other people. We have 200 parking spots and no mass transit options. There are buildings around us that use only half of their parking lot but we are not allowed to use that parking. If you do not have the appropriate sticker you get towed. So I now have to walk about 1/4 of a mile to get to work.

When there are 500 empty parking spots below me. And 500 parking spaces just across the street.

1/4 mile WOW! So freaking far! Poor you! It so so unfair!

Spoiler:

One of our American acquaintances in Mexico (very very overweight man 45 years old), said he actually lost weight despite 5* all-inclusive diet. Poor man. He had to walk, Oh Horror!, every day from his room to the buffet or to the beach.

Hey, I am a lazy American. More seriously, when there are empty parking spots next to the building I work at having to drive farther away and walk through all those parking spots pisses me off. There is no reason for it. I hate doing stupid stuff when there is no good reason for it. I have worked at places where I had to park farther away and walk 1/2 a mile uphill and have not bitched. That is where the parking was at and I didn't want to get to work three hours earlier to park 1/4 mile closer. But having to walk a decent distance when there is parking is silly.

And annoying

And I am drinking a pot of High Mountain Artisinal Oolong. Good but in my don't restock because I don't drink it often enough.

Just finished my morning OJ. Nearing the end of this case of oranges, need to order up another case.

In my cup, Major Dickason's. And with the dogs up half a dozen times last night (something they ate), I'm going to need all the caffeine I can get today.

Fair enough

Last cuppa in the office for today.
Lapacho.

(grumbles)

But I have a pulse today so that is good.

And I really need to stay strong and not order a Fire.

Too late for me. Ordered it, and already planning my modified network structure to support it.

Send it my way.

I'm finding myself in an Oolong phase. But right now, in the cup: Peet's Scottish Breakfast. This version of Scottish Breakfast includes a bit of Lapsang Souchong, making for a mildly smoky blend. Like one of the lighter malt whiskeys.

Nah my blood pressure is up becomes I am pissed. And even then I would still probably come in abnormally low. I went to the ER once with a problem with my ankle and they took my blood pressure twice because it was low.

Cuppa #7

Liu An Gua Pian

A tasty Australian Cabernet Shiraz by Calloway Crossing. Half price at Tesco. It's been a rubbish day at work. Better now I'm home with the missus.

orlok · 11-03-2011, 06:04 PM

Hey, ditto. Although mine is Wolf Blass, also from Tesco. Cheers.
