tired is...

setting the coffeemaker up, and then realizing that you're about to scoop loose tea into the coffee filter.


(I suppose it could have been worse, I could have realized it after I turned the machine on...)


EtA: on the plus side, the biscuits turned out pretty good. Mmm, biscuits....

Or you could have turned it on and then realized that you forgot to put the coffee pot under the drip. I have done this. I finally realized the dripping water sound was coming from the coffee pot in my kitchen. *Sigh* I know have many coffee-stained cookbooks since they were stored on the shelf under the coffeemaker.

Oh, I comprehend the tired. I fell asleep on the bus this morning, and still couldn't walk a straight line when I woke up and got off the thing. And I haven't had a drink since Friday.

And I had my 8 hours of sleep last night. I get more and more sleep, but I'm more and more tired when I get up. This is annoying.

Hummmm...I wonder if the tea would have been any good made like that.

Nope. Coffee leaves behind an oil residue that flavors the water and makes tea taste icky -- it's why tea snobs (moi, yes) hate tea served out of those huge convention-style dispensers, because they've been used for coffee as well, and no matter how many times you rinse them in hot water, the flavor remains. Bleah.

(also, if you have a caffeine allergy, and are served herbal tea out of a carafe that once held coffee? Possible to have an allergic reaction from that. I've been used as a taster in those instances, and sent tea back rather than let someone with that allergy drink it...)

Interesting. That explains a lot about how bad some tea is when I have it from big pots.

Learned something new today. I can go home and go back to bed.

Maybe something's going around? I'm still cleaning the occasional green tea leaf out of my teapot from a few days ago when I put in my first spoon of loose tea ... and then realized I had not yet put in the strainer... :: face palm ::

If it makes you feel any better, I've gone and scooped coffee into the basket without the filter in it. :(

I don't know where my brain was, but I'm ashamed to admit I've actually done it more than once. ;)

Just saw this and thought of Wren: Breaking into a power station in three easy steps (http://www.news.com/8301-10784_3-9914896-7.html?part=rss&subj=news&tag=2547-1_3-0-5).

Once was so tired that in the canteen I put a tea bag in the cup and then filled it with coffee. Mind you it did wake me up.
