Well, my first week of my new job has been good so far, apart from this evil cough of dooom ™ that I have. Just want you want for first-time meetings with vendors, yes? Ugh. But even megacough cannot stop my eclipse!squee. The first trailer is out! *flails*
I know that this video has been around for a while, but I’ve only just encountered it. The level of cuteness is very high, so I’m issuing a warning for loud “Awwwww”s.
Ah, coffee, that wonderful warm start-of-the-day beverage. I have such a love/hate relationship with it. It has so may pros and cons.
Pros: 1. I can help wake you up. 2. It can help with a sore throat. 3. The heat can help with a stuffed up head. 4. It helps with asthma problems. 5. It’s a tasty beverage, that goes particularly well with sweets. 6. It can help with mental focus. 7. A hot cup of coffee in a mug is two weapons in one. (I’ve mentioned my favorite weapon here before, yes?)
Cons: 1. It can keep you awake when you would rather sleep. 2. It can make your hands very unsteady. 3. It can give you an acid belly/disagree with your system. 4. It can take a normal stress reaction and make it go through the roof. Hello panic attack. 5. It can help you focus *way too much*. Must…Finish…Project!
and the one I’d totally forgotten about until Saturday: 6. It makes me paranoid.
Yep. Did you know that everyone was ignoring me on Saturday? No? How about the fact that my co-workers are all going to be angry with me for calling in sick on Saturday and I’ll ‘get in trouble’ for doing so? Sigh. I called in sick because of the whole coughing/sneezing/runny nose/having trouble breathing problem that I drank the coffee for in the first place.
Note to self: One cup is okay. Two cups is pushing it these days. Three cups is right out. You haven’t worked graveyard shift in thirteen years, and you are getting more sensitive as you get older. Don’t be a paranoid dork. Yes. Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t out to get you, but seriously…
I couldn’t resist sharing this little bit of Silliness with you all. “At Last the 1948 Show” is one of the pre-cursors to Monty Python. Three of the troupe worked together here before forming said troupe. This library sketch gives me the giggles…quietly, of course.
Ah Ha! I knew that I knew that Muppet song. It’s Habenera from Carmen, and I’m more familiar with it in the form of the Operatic Orange from Sesame Street, as seen below. (Da dun dun dun…)
