Incident #13

I was trying to decide what to make for breakfast today. I walked into the kitchen and stood there for awhile trying to remember what I went there to do. In my mind I ran through a checklist: Coffee was brewing, and the travel mug was out and ready so what could it be. After 5 minutes of idle standing I returned to the living room where I suddenly remembered (thanks to a growl from my stomach) that I wanted to make breakfast. Back to the kitchen and I made a yogurt, fruit and granola parfait and packed it for work. I poured delicious organic and fair trade coffee into my new travel mug and grabbed my keys and headed to work. As I arrived I realized my delicious breakfast and coffee were likely still on the counter or being enjoyed by my dog. Oh Mondays. I needed coffee.

Incident #12

This morning I realized I needed to iron my pants before work because despite being wrinkle resistant they were wrinkly. I got the ironing board out and the iron and waited for the iron to heat up. I began ironing the pants...the khakis didn't react to being pressed by the iron, so I pressed harder. After 15 minutes I ran out of patience just to realize I had never plugged in the iron. I needed coffee.

Incident #11

Today I woke up to discover I needed more coffee, so I went to the grocery store and bought a bag of a dark roast houseblend. I got home put some beans in the grinder and filled my filter and poured water into the coffee maker and turned it on. The coffee began brewing and smelled great, I could already taste the first sip. I glanced at the bag of coffee as I put it away and a word in green caught my eye "Decaffeinated" Awesome, I needed my morning caffeine and I went and bought myself coffee, sans the caffeine. Let's see if I can trick my body with a placebo. I needed coffee!

Incident # 10

Today I woke up and wanted coffee, as per usual. I ground the beans and put them in the filter and turned on the coffee pot and went off to shower. After my shower I grabbed my favorite coffee mug and went to the coffee pot to find it was empty. I checked to make sure it was on and it was. Then I realized I could even hear it going, but still no coffee. I figured out the problem after examining the pot. I hadn't put any water in it. I needed coffee.

Incident #9

Today I decided to use my french press. I put water in my tea kettle and waited for it to make that hissing sound. Five minutes passed and no hissing. Ten minutes passed and no hissing. I walked into the kitchen to realize I hadn't put the lid on the tea kettle. I needed coffee.

Incident #8

Today I was in the middle of the clean up part of packing and moving. I was vacuuming when suddenly my vacuum would no longer reach from the outlet it was plugged into. I walked across the room unplugged it and plugged it into another outlet. The vacuum still wouldn't reach. I looked back to realize I had moved the cord to the lower plug of the same outlet. I needed coffee.

Incident #7

Last night I worked an overnight shift. When I left this morning I walked out to my car to find my windows were down because I never put them up when I arrived at work some 10 hours ago. I needed coffee.
