Irish breakfast tea? owaitno….
So…when are you going to give us the lowdown on this new job? Anyway?
What Kestrel said!
At least one thing’s for sure. No 0Dark30 wake-up calls like you probably had to deal with in the Air Force.
Glad to hear you got your new job. Question is which one; Company A or Company B?
Nice list BTW.
4. Telling my new boss, “NASA? No, I said, NAPA!”
I laughed SO hard.
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 :>
LOL dan you just cured my boredatwork syndrome with #5
Hey, glad to see you’re settling in, Dan. Good luck out there!
…OHHH, IRISH. I get it now.
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.
@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
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.
Raspberry in coffee? Must be an american thing.
@ Tessy
The U.S. – The only country I have ever been to where ordering a coffee takes longer than drinking one.
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!!!
Have to agree with Miss R, do number 4 if nothing else, just to see the look on his face
@ Tessy and Tim:
NOOOO!!! Don’t label us all! I lead the rebellion against any fruit in coffee, and I am 100% American.
why wouldn’t you want to go to hooters for lunch?
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.
D’oh!
Thanks, John Oliver!
“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!”
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!
fold up cots are for the uncommitted
