  2. Kestrel says:

    So…when are you going to give us the lowdown on this new job? Anyway?

  3. kunukia says:

    What Kestrel said!

  4. Curtis says:

    At least one thing’s for sure. No 0Dark30 wake-up calls like you probably had to deal with in the Air Force.

  5. Chuck says:

    Glad to hear you got your new job. Question is which one; Company A or Company B?

    Nice list BTW.

  6. Miss R says:

    4. Telling my new boss, “NASA? No, I said, NAPA!”

    I laughed SO hard. :)

  7. RFairney says:

    6: Potatoes ? I have some raspberry syrup, usually used for cocktails, will have to try it in coffee actually, Vanilla is always nice to add, but never added fruit.
    Odd, because I had fruit milkshake mix to hot-chocolate all the time :)

    7: DO IT! And post pictures after :>

  8. Andrew says:

    LOL dan you just cured my boredatwork syndrome with #5

  9. Aaron W says:

    Hey, glad to see you’re settling in, Dan. Good luck out there!

    …OHHH, IRISH. I get it now.

  10. kunukia says:

    Dear heavens, RFairney, DON”T DO IT!! I have shuddered at Daniels predilection for…foreign, fruity things in his coffee ever since I started reading his blogs. Don’t encourage him!!
    Vanilla? That’s possibly even worse.

  11. RFairney says:

    @Kunukia
    Sailor Jerry Rum
    adds a vanilla taste to anything.. and it tastes a lot more like true vanilla than any vanilla syrup i’ve ever tasted.

    Especially with coca-cola

  12. Michele says:

    Which job? A or B? How did it all go down? You can’t just leave us all hanging like this! “No fairzies!” I cry.

  13. Tessy says:

    Raspberry in coffee? Must be an american thing.

  14. Tim says:

    @ Tessy

    The U.S. – The only country I have ever been to where ordering a coffee takes longer than drinking one.

  15. girliegeek says:

    Saw in the news that the launch was cancelled … will you be taking part next Saturday if it goes then? Was watching and hoping to see you on tv!!!

  16. Buggrit says:

    Have to agree with Miss R, do number 4 if nothing else, just to see the look on his face :D

  17. kunukia says:

    @ Tessy and Tim:
    NOOOO!!! Don’t label us all! I lead the rebellion against any fruit in coffee, and I am 100% American.

  18. Three of IV says:

    why wouldn’t you want to go to hooters for lunch?

  19. John Oliver says:

    See Daniel’s “About” for a mention of his new job in the 3D modeling and simulation industry in the technology park at the University of Central Florida.

  20. kunukia says:

    D’oh!
    Thanks, John Oliver!

  21. WB says:

    “NASA? No, I said NAPA.” Yeah, this completely cracked me up.

    As for the raspberry/irish conundrum, I direct all coffee drinkers to Denis Leary – I want COFFEE-FLAVORED COFFEE!”

  22. Gwenyth Love says:

    Hmmm…we have a Hooters right down the street….maybe I should send out that mass email myself…oh wait…I work in an office full of women…

    /sigh

    Still waiting to hear about Company A vs Company B…who won? The world is waiting!
