hausdok Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 Hoo-Boy! Ever had a day start in such a way that tells you you'd be better off staying in bed? The day is just starting and I think I'm gonna hop back in bed and go awol. So anyway, I make a pot of coffee, come in here and read the posts from last night, hear the coffeepot finish and go out to the kitchen to pour myself a cuppa. Whereupon, I pour the cup, put the coffee pot full of coffee in the cabinet where I keep the coffee cups, reach into another cabinet, grab the coffee can and begin adding sugar to my coffee. Only thing was, it wasn't sugar, it was coffee! [:-crazy] I'm dumping the second spoonful of grounds into my coffee when something in my mind goes, "What the [:-censored]!" and then it took a second to register. [:-boggled] Worse, I dump the cup, rinse it out and reach for the coffeepot, only to find it missing and it took me a few seconds of bewildered thought to remember where I'd put the danged thing. [:-scared] Days like this are spooky. I'll be walking on pins and needles all day waiting for the other shoe to drop. [:-wiltel]] ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!!

hausdok Posted January 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 Yeah, I know. The guys in my platoon used to bust my chops over it. I'd be doin' something, go blank for a moment and say, "Dang! Forgot what I was gonna do (or say). I must be getting alzheimers disease." To a man, they'd invariably respond with, "Sergeant O, you're pronouncing it wrong. It's 'oldtimers' disease." I swear, I think it was a running joke with those guys and they'd rehearsed it as a line together. [:-irked] ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!!

WILLIE Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 Just a hint. Try setting up you're coffee pot before you go to bed. That way all you need to do is turn it on in the morning. [:-idea] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Fabry Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 I get up around 4 am. I can barely conquer the act putting my pants on at that hour, much less making coffee. Every January second I give a hundred dollar bill to the owner of a store on my way to work and he makes coffee for me every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a46geo Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 Mike, When you get to the point where the phone rings, you reach for your glasses, put them on and then say "hello" ..it is time for the Home. Until that day, you should be alright without direct 24/7 supervision. George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
