The Coffee House

[Gary A.]

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. My soaking beans in brandy worked. Just took a long time to dry the beans. I air dried them. But I wasn't in a rush. Halfway through I realized that all I have to do is add some brandy to the coffee for pretty much the same taste. doh! I still have my bread culture bubbling away. I feed it everyday. In a few more days I'll make more bread. 57F right now and overcast, should hit about 73F today.

I think Leonore likes Gorns (assuming there's more than one) because it means that Captain Kirk will be somewhere nearby, and that gives Leonore the opportunity to correct Kirk's misogynistic world-view. Not to mention that Gorns are 1960s kitch. Almost as good as the gnomes at the beginning of this thread.

I think Leonore may actually be Leonard Nimoy in disguise

I AM quite logical. Though that would make me Spock in disguise. I have no idea how logical Leonard Nimoy is.

That is logical.

Good morning, coffee hosers. Looks like I'm going absolutely nowhere today, considering it's -15 F out.

If you took our high temp for the last three days, and added them all together, they wouldn't be your high today. Heck, they would BARELY add up to your current temp!
I LIVE IN THE SOUTH, DAGNABIT!!! It is NOT supposed to be like this!!!

I'm wondering how long I can do this for.

What do my grandparents and their issues have to do with anything??

A clear case of why more words does not help. Why can't lawyers write laws using mathematics? Or at least algebra? Those who love splitting hairs will do well with differentials. Those who live with "notwithstanding" clauses could express the ideas more clearly with a few Venn diagrams. For the people who love summations, there's calculus. And for multi-generational issues, there are tree diagrams and matrix math. Surely a clear case of symbology trumping verbology.

Lawyers and math don't mesh well, unless you're talking about fees or how many billable hours they need.

How's the pay?

Not as much per hour as I hoped, but more hours per week than I expected. And enough that it is making a difference for my finances at the moment.

Truth is I will likely find a way to suck it up for about 6 months or so, and then look for something better. It'll be better if I can manage until the end of the year, really, but I'm giving myself an "out" after 6 months to make it a little bit easier to mentally deal.

And yes, the work itself is boring and I would like to be doing something more interesting for me, but I also can handle boring-ish work depending on the work environment. It's just me and the lawyer and our personalities don't really mesh all that well, but he's also not in the office probably half the time that I am here, so that helps. I just have to figure out how to keep the existential ennui to a minimum during the hours he IS here at the same time.

geez.... you just started and are already planning on quitting?????

sorry, i am laughing with you not at you..
