On Monday, Danny and I went to Target to get a new coffeemaker. I need coffee in the morning, however, I’m too lazy to get up ten minutes early and walk over to the cafe in my neighborhood to buy the coffee before catching the train. To solve this problem, we bought a coffee maker with a timer. I think it’s pretty cool. You put in the beans and water the night before, and, at the appropriate time, it grinds the beans and brews the coffee. It has worked like a charm the last two mornings.

This morning, I was a little rushed, but I made sure to fix my coffee. I rushed out the the door and made it all the way to the train station before realizing I had left it on the counter. Damn. Oh well…. I bought coffee once I got to the city. No big deal.

Tonight, Danny and I decided to go bike riding. We took the back way to his office. I had misjudged the time and it got darker and darker. Fortunately, I had remembered my trusty red bike blinker or butt blinker and Danny was nice enough to secure it to the back of my pants before we left. Although I never thought I’d use it, I stopped for a second to switch on the mini-headlight I had dutifully attached to the handlebars of my bike. It turns out that I would never use it because it had vanished! Sometime since Sunday, someone had crawled up on our porch and snagged my headlight off my bike. The stealing part was annoying, but the “off the porch” thing even more. Plus, that’s a lot of effort for a flashlight attached with a bracket. I was dismayed, but at least my bike hadn’t been stolen. I’m surprised they didn’t snag the cushioned seat cover too.

Aside from those annoying incidents, my day went well. Today was free breakfast day at work and apparently free dessert day too. In other words, I didn’t suffer TOO much.

Yesterday was my first day at work. It took me a little over an hour to get there by train and lightrail, but the commute was pretty painless. My office is in the financial district of San Francisco. I have to admit, working in a real downtown is pretty cool. My coworkers seem nice and altogether harmless. However, don’t they always? Hmmm… Oh, I have a cube with a view of the building next to us. Sadly, this is a vast improvement over my last job. I had a view of matt’s head. Although that was fine, a little sunlight and a glimpse at the outside world would have been good once in a while.
The only real drawback to my job is that I cannot keep staying up this late. Like a naughty third grader who stayed up to watch tv, I too should have been in bed hours ago.
