Fresh Coffee and 20 Questions

Today's entry is a combination of things.  The first part will be about fresh coffee and the second will be me fulfilling a promise I made to a coworker today.

Coffee's Fresh

The funniest thing happened at work this morning.  We have a guy that every day, and I do mean EVERY day, he comes in and the first thing out of his mouth without even looking if anyone is on the phone is say "Good Morning All".  Now that wouldn't be so bad, but he does it at a volume that is about 1 1/2 times louder than everyone else is talking.  He is also famous for other famous phrases such as "What's the word of the day?", "Any words of wisdom?" and "Can I getcha anything?".  Today he introduced a new phrase "Coffee's fresh".  The best part about the new phrase isn't the phrase itself, but how it was introduced.  You see, at the time of introduction, he was on the phone with someone trying to resolve a computer issue when his workplace hero walked in the room.  The guy put his customer on mute, turned to the hero, and said the new phrase.  He had no more gotten the phrase out and he turned back around, took the phone off mute and said to his customer "Yeah I'm still here.".  The tone of the way he said it made us all laugh.  He continued to say the phrase a couple of more times during the day.  My friends and I at work have even used the phrase to pick on the 'hero' through out the day.  He was a very good sport about it, much better than when we told everyone that he brought in doughnuts because it was his birthday.

20 Questions

This portion is to keep my promise to Jamie at work.  Today Jamie and I were working and talking with one of our female coworkers who is famous for asking question after question until we bring it up, then she'll stop and we all laugh.  Well, she started asking questions, and I told Jamie that 20 questions would be my next blog post in tribute to her and we both agreed that it would be great.  So I am going to need help with this portion of the blog.  I am asking for questions from readers that I can answer.  I will answer almost any question, but I do reserve the right not to answer the question.  Rest assured I plan on answering almost any question posted.  I will gather all of the questions and post them together with their answers in an upcoming entry.  Here is a preview though.....
  1. Where would you like to live if you didn't live in the Fort Wayne area?  I would love to live in Maryland close to the Bay.  I was born near there and got to visit a couple of years ago and it was beautiful.
