Ugh - filing

quislibetSince I Got The Issue Out on Monday (staying late and going to the Copley Square FedEx office in order to do so) today's all about filing and doing the less pressing stuff I ignored for a few weeks. And that's all very dull.
This morning I bought two lattes for the price of one. How cool is that? Of course, I entered the latte-vending establishment under a false assumption, namely that cheap coffee wouldn't be available here in the building, as it never is on Mondays. But as you will have shrewdly remembered, of course, it's not Monday, it's just that I am coming into work after two days at home, so it felt like a Monday. Stupid, yes, although arguably not so stupid as the decision by the School of Theology (or whatever subset or adjunct body thereof/thereto under whose jurisdiction falls coffee-making decisions) not to make cheap coffee available on the one day a week that one would expect to need coffee the most, namely, Mondays -- which, as I have here implied, has nothing to do with coffee availability today, it not being Monday, as the coffee is there, just down the hall, getting burnt a bit in that special way.
Fortunately, I have two tasty lattes at hand, one chilling in the window for afternoon "iced" drinking, and the two-for-one-ness lessens the sting of spending more money than I might have had I remembered what day it actually was.
This is gripping reading, I expect.
Social opportunities abound this weekend, but if I take advantage of even one of them, it will be more than I am currently expecting; with the loss of all of last weekend to game-geekery I need to spend this coming one more prudently.
Alas.
