Today, the company for which i work was supposed to be featured on a television show called The View, so the appropriate group was sponsoring a viewing of the segment and brought coffee and donuts- and they decided to do this down in the technology area where the television is- which happens to be one of the smallest offices in the place since it was displaced from its usual home by the CEO's presence in town for the month. Seeing forty or so people cramming into this area was amusing enough, but was enough to ensure that i didn't stick around to watch the segment- especially seeing yet another flock heading down the hall.
Being somewhat groggy at the time, i grabbed a donut and a cup of coffee and headed back to my desk. I'm only on really rare occasions a coffee drinker- on an empty (or near-empty) stomach, it tends to eat my innards up, and is something less than pleasant, and, well, i like coffee-flavoured coffee, so i drink it black (which makes the acid issue worse).
Think, for a minute, about why most people drink coffee- for the caffeine, to get them going. Oddly enough, after a cup, i found myself inexplicably sleepy. Well, time for the company picnic, which i may or may not attend for more than an hour.
