Joe in a Cup

Java. The cheery bean. Coffee. Don't know much about the stuff besides the commercial jingles.

The other day my boss apologized and then sent me to go get coffee. He had 5 hours of meetings ahead of him. He handed me a list of sorts with gibberish coffee lingo on it. I said, "I'm sorry, I don't know anything about coffee. Is this one drink or several drinks?" (I wasn't sure if I was picking up coffee for the whole office.) He replied, "I'm such a girl." and then underlined the items on the list:

Coffee Au Lait(?)
Half Calf
Half Decaf
Lowfat milk
1 raw brown sugar packet

Still not understanding if I had 5 simple coffees listed or just one loaded cup, I took the list and left. When I arrived at the coffee shop, I handed it to the guy and said, "I hope you know what this means."
He decided it was one cup.

Let's just say no one gave me dagger eyes for not bringing them a coffee, I didn't see the boss spit it out when I brought it back to him and I even got a thank you note scribbled on my desk.

First ever coffee run down. I hope it is my last.

As Prepared As a Boyscout

You have heard that saying, if you fail to prepare, you prepare to fail, well my folks won't fail. They are prepared. I just went home to visit them last weekend. They are so prepared that one of their clocks is already set for the time change in the fall.

pa-dum-ching!
