I'm about to do something I've never done before |
|
I'm about to finish using a whole package of coffee filters.
They sell those filters like ten thousand to a package, or so it seems. For years and years and years and years, I've moved into a new place and gone shopping for new-apartment supplies. Every time, I've bought a package of coffee filters. Every time, upon moving again, it seemed like I never made a dent in the package.
I bought this package of filters in February, and I have been working from home. I make coffee every day because I work from home, something that was missing for those years. Every day, I used a filter, from February to today.
The day after tomorrow, I will finish the package of coffee filters.
Woo!

3. Sometimes life's smallest victories are the most satisfying. |
|
Next you get to bitch about how much more expensive coffee filters are now than they were the last time you bought them.

20. or a tube of Chapstick |
|
I don't believe I've ever used up one. I always lose them, or they melt in the car, or they get stale, so I buy new ones.

15. Given the context, I'm not sure |
|
if "rolls like a hot knife through butter" was the best way to put it.

9. Hope you are using the unbleached ones. |

Your well being is important to us here at comedy central, errr, DU.
Can I have some of your coffee? I was up late counting primary votes (we use paper and pencils here in Tiny Town) and I am not an evening person. My world is askew this AM.
any Zombie Coffee in the Lounge? I think I have somebody's hangover. :hangover:

12. I bow to your hefty achievement, Will |

Since I no longer drink coffee, you are welcome to the filters sitting in my cupboard.

21. we go through a box of coffee filters every two weeks man |
|
me and Mrs. McLargehuge consume AWESOME amounts of coffee... Me more-so than her now due to her... er... condition... but I've been trying to keep our average up. So far it's not bad... 30 minutes of sleep a night and 50000 pee pee breaks.
