caddymanAh, coffee.
The first before I leave the house puts just enough intro my system to reboot my brane so that I can get as far as the office. My first in the office is of an altogether higher magnitude and I have five minutes scanning the news pages on the web while my synapses shake off the dust sheets and open the shutters for another day’s trading.
Right now I am about to make a second cup: it wouldn’t do to let caffeine levels fall too soon or I shall be face down on the keyboard filling the screen with xxxxxxxxxx’s before you can say ‘brain dead’. Maybe I should move my keyboard a little to the left so that when and or if it happens, I fill the screen with reams of another letter. “B” looks particularly beguiling for a change. The trouble is, of course, that I am just enough of a typist to know roughly where the keys are these days, so if I shift the keyboard slightly out of position, I risk hitting all the wrong keys and creating a simple little cipher, thus: Svyis;;u oy#d jstfrt yjsm oy ;ppld”. Normally when my typing goes wrong (i.e. it’s ok until I notice the first mistake and then, WHAMMO!), it comes out looking a little like dyslexic Norwegian. At least I can go back and work out what I tried to type, and the spell checker has a fighting chance.
Hmm. Better get and do something. Oh yes, more coffee. That was it.
