Oh honey, it's just all wrong today.
Maybe it's because I lost my coffee guy. This is something near and dear to a New Yorker's heart, the coffee guy. Mine was at the corner of 35th and 6th, not to be confused with the other guy on the same corner, and we had a great relationship. We had the geek bond since he'd been a web designer in a previous incarnation. With the $1.50 coffee, witty banter and being called Hon or Babe, it was pretty good. However, Coffee Guy was recently accepted into a diplomatic program as an official Persian translator for the State Department. He's about to get a major upgrade in lifestyle. He'd been telling me about this for the past couple of weeks and I thought I had more lead time to scout around for a backup, but today he was gone! I went slumming to someone else but it just wasn't the same and my heart wasn't in it.
Sigh. Maybe I should post a MC: "MC with iced coffee." (Hey, it doesn't all have to be about romantic lurve... Mets fans were posting about missed connections with the postseason last week.)
Coffee Guy, wherever you are, congratulations. I'm sure you'll rock out on your new diplomatic mission. But I'll miss you!
