When working lots of overtime (like I am currently doing—even though I won’t get paid overtime this week due to the holiday…grr!) I will often stop by a local coffee shop. It’s called The Boulder Street Café.
Which brings up today’s interesting factoid. Certain people have a gift, and certain other people do not. That gift is the ability to make a good cup of coffee. See, most people there at The Boulder Street Café make roughly comparable coffee. That is, if you were in a taste-test, you’d be unable to tell who made the cup of coffee. This stands to reason given the fact that all the baristas are supposed to use the same recipe and all.
However, today’s cup of coffee was made by a particular person. I don’t know his name, but alas he cannot make a good cup of coffee. He’s a nice person—don’t get me wrong there—but he just cannot make a good cup of coffee :-( Somehow, it is Bush’s fault that this guy’s coffee is always about 10% below average.
On the other hand, if you ever stop by and Tim is there, make sure Tim makes your coffee for you. Because Tim’s got that gift, and his coffee is always 10% better than average. The good news is that Tim is usually in when I get my coffee. The bad news is today was his day off….
Oh well. Global Warming caused this, and that’s Bush’s fault too.
