all sleep no coffee

There was this day in office when there was no coffee.... no coffee in the vending machine... there is no coffee shop near office where you can just go pick your coffee and come back... you have to go there.... pass pleasant nothings .... order coffee... have it and come back.. Europe style... you are not supposed to be in a hurry.... you are supposed to do everything slowly.... enjoy it while you do it... which you can't do on a break from work..... Because there are only 24 hours in a day and there is loads of work to be done!!
End of story there is no other option for having coffee than the vending machine(i used to hate vending machine coffee before i came here... never had it.... but see what no options does to a person) and the vending machine is broken! Imagine my plight... i walk up to the vending machine... I press the button on the menu and it says something in French (on the microscule display) which I understood must mean "cannot dispense" this after pressing the button some 10 times.... then I selected another drink... again the same French phrase which i am assuming to mean u know what... well after selecting a few more drinks in a priorit-ical order and getting the same response I realized there was something majorly wrong with the machine and it wasn't just those one or 2 drinks....
I came back to my seat all sleepy eyed but with loads of work waiting for me.... and that too with the knowledge that there might be no coffee throughout the day... there was a small ray of hope... that hope against hope... that may be.... but deep inside I knew... there would be no coffee today... and I had to live with it... go to the VM a few more time... only to return empty handed... but go nonetheless... may be the VM Gods are happy and bless me with a few coffees... after all you never know when you get sweet rewards! but no it wasn't that sweet a day that day I spent the entire day without coffee... and the day after that....
Now that i have set the perspective the mind frame that i was in i will continue with what i really wanted to say... i was working and thinking what is the value add my work gives me (of course it gives me financial value add).... why am i working.... on the same technology for last so many years... why cant i quit and do sweet nothings all day... something like wake up in the morning.... make a nice cup of coffee.. sip it while reading the newspaper... worry about world in general... talk about how everything is going wrong while looking at my garden and watering my plants... removing dead leaves from one sprinkling water on petals of another... look at light being reflected from the droplets... make breakfast... take a nice long warm water bath... eat breakfast which is still magically warm.... now go out do some necessary grocery shopping or the other boring things... come back... teach some poor kids to read... who obviously come daily and love coming to my place.... then its time for lunch... make lunch.. have lunch... now bake a few things... smell the cakes.... the smell of hot cakes… the taste… and ofcourse there will be cookies…and coffee and tea and what not……

Anyway… so much for a fantasy now to real work and ABAP!
