I just don&#8217;t have the mojo to get that big pot to make drinkable coffee.  The good thing about doing refreshments is that I get to do what I normally do anyway, dole out snacks.  People like you because you feed them.  The bad thing is that you don&#8217;t get to sit down, ever.

And, I don&#8217;t think that I&#8217;d mind so much if I wasn&#8217;t having this sinus infection\/bronchitis thing.  Yep, I&#8217;m betting that I&#8217;d have more energy without that.
