Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for December 18, 2022

Survival. That’s how you keep OTHER people alive.

Mom gave me coffee once and I ran around the house like crazy…she doesn’t give me coffee anymore.

Coffee is a religion. At least once a day I take my first sip and chant “God! I needed that!”

I don’t like the world before my morning coffee

And the world ain’t too crazy about me

Addiction

The guys in my house add blood to their caffeine stream every morning.

it’d be much more efficient if we had an IV unit, but since we don’t i’m forced to drink my coffee by the cup…

Actually, it’s WINE

Survival instinct for me.

I’ve been drinking coffee for as long as I can remember. Waaaay back to at least 4 years old.

Surely a taste to explore. Brewed, perc’d, french press, et al. Grinding beans every morning is a grind so i just buy ground coffee anymore and hardly taste much diff.But it is a necessary way to start the day!

Survival. But not necessarily our own. It’s so the rest of the world can survive US.

When you booze it up 16 hours a day – you fall into coffee pots. Twit.

Coffe is so popular the world over it is practically a human bean.

I never developed a taste for coffee and the smell of coffeeshops, some brands in particular, can give me a migraine. Don’t feel sorry for me, I don’t want to be jarred awake up in the mornings. The cold air on dawn walks does it for me anyway. Today was a windchill of 14F. That woke me up.

I’ve had coffee so strong it’s a wonder that I survived it

I started drinking coffee when I’d visit my aunt. She would always say, ’Don’t tell your mama!!!’…

And I’m here to tell you that coffee will put hair on your chest!!!

Survival.

It’s an addiction.

Just a hobby for me since I had to switch to decaf, darn the luck.

Well it’s either that or go to prison for manslaughter.

TEA. EARL GREY. HOT.

Coffee is a basic food group!

All I know is that it tastes 1000% better with a couple shots of Bailey’s Irish Creme in it.

In Seattle, coffee is like a religion. I worked for a company that was bought out by another company. I won’t mention the company’s name but the initials are CA. They bragged that they could save $600 a year in our office by contracting with ARA who are the people who provide coffee to the airlines.

So twice a day the entire programming staff disappeared to the coffee shop downstairs for about a half hour a clip in the morning and in the afternoon. 10 programmers, 1 hour each per day, 5 days a week. That’s 50 hours a week or about 1000 hours of lost productivity. Unless the programmers were working for $6 an hour, the company lost money on that decision.

It’s a performance-enhancing drug for me.

What does it matter, Aunty, so long as you enjoy your coffee? Life has greater mysteries for us to ponder.
