A potential crisis here, chez Shrink!
On Thursday last I placed in order for coffee, in the hopes that it would be shipped on the day I placed the order. Foolish of me as the order did not go out. As Monday is a holiday here in the States, the earliest that the order might go out is Tuesday. That means that the earliest I might receive the order is Wednesday.
But… I don't think I have enough beans to last until Wednesday!
Should I run out of beans I'm sure that you will all understand if hysteria ensues. Forget support and sympathy for having broken my neck, a trivial event compared to the possibility of running out of coffee.
Stay tuned as early next week my posts may be even more incoherent than usual and filled with pathetic whining and crying.
I applaud and roundly echo your priorities: For, as you so rightly observe, a broken neck is nothing, but nothing, when set in the scales and measured against the cosmic and wider scheme of things, and, candidly, is less than nothing when compared to - or contrasted with - the indubitable trauma of running out of coffee, decent, suitable, high grade quality coffee - by this coming Wednesday.
You have my deepest and most heartfelt sympathy, my earnest commiserations. And you have my respect for your unflinching recognition of just where one's priorities ought to lie in an emergency, especially a coffee-deprived emergency. A man who understands the important things in life.......who richly merits his well deserved place as Our Mentor In All Things Coffee Related On This Very Thread.
