Bow down to the machine.

There was a two hour period between the time I got to office and had my first cup of coffee where nothing happened.

The coffee machine hadn't been setup for the day yet.

Two inoperable hours of walking to the office kitchen every 15 mins or so, hoping I would see the glow of the LEDs in the miniature display box.

Such a dependency on external stimulus to get things done. Quite a crafty narrative to convince oneself to do nothing.

Two hours of limbo.

Gladly the torture ended, and I was able to get a cup and write this up before I now head into a day of switching tabs, writing documents & thinking.
