monday. coffee sucks.
So. We all know the coffee I get every morning sucks pretty bad. And, I think I've mentioned that even at home, I'm trying to cut back on caffeine. So, I've gone from a 24 oz. to a 20 oz. to a 16 oz. over the course of 2 months.
Yay me.
I usually do a half-caf mix with flavored creams to mask the stankiness of the coffee. No matter how clean the filters, the "premium blend" tastes like dirty socks. Well, this morning, as I pre-loaded the creams, I decided to just use half and half, because I like it, too. And I figured the flavored creams had more sugar.
So I turn around to fill my cup and the manager is in my way (I tend to go to the decaf first), so I poured a half cup of premium. I snag a lid, and notice he's done over by the decaf. OH NO! He's just started brewing the decaf. I arrived too early. "It'll be done soon," he says. "Not soon enough," I say, under my breath, and fill up on skanky premium. He takes my dollar at the register... and I am later than I should be for work, but earlier than the last few weeks. That 5 minutes of extra slacking at home meant there was a full pot of decaf waiting on me... and now that I was more "on time", I'm not gonna get it.
Gotta start getting up at 5:30 again and making my morning half-caf at home.
