Coffee

To know me is to know that I am addicted to caffeine. Anyone who knows me knows that I am sustained on a steady stream of caffeine and if possible would inject it intravenously into my system. I’ve got no problem with the theory of mainlining coffee.

So it should not come as a surprise to anyone who knows me and my love of all things caffeinated that one of the easiest ways to annoy me is to leave the coffee pot empty. I repeatedly go to get a mid morning cup of personality only to find that the last person ahead of me has left it empty. I know how long it takes to make coffee. I’ve timed it. Its 45 seconds from start to finish and this is before I have had any coffee. So why do people do this? Why do they take the last drop of coffee and not replenish the vat?

I was so annoyed by this last week that instead of making the new batch to standard specs I made it Renee strength. Sadly after a year in Uganda my tolerance is not what it used to be and my body was going jingle jangle for the rest of the day but it seems to have worked because there has been coffee in the pot everyday since.

Thank goodness for that I don’t think I could have taken another day drinking what used to be like water to me

Blackberry Vs. iPhone

Well as I have been adjusting to this part of the world, again. I have succumbed to the realization that I in fact need data access on my phone. Mainly because I don’t want to be tied to my computer and I keep missing afterhour’s emails. And some of them have been good. I have spent the last hour trying to figure out. iPhone or blackberry and what type of handcuffs each of these devices offer me. Battery life, durability, OS my head is spinning. Can’t someone just tell me which one is better? This is why life in the developed world is more stressful, to much connection, to many choices.
