coffee and people
Coffee: I can’t handle it. So very restless and fidgety.
The worst (not today) is mixing it with early-afternoon drowsiness; then I’m tired and get jolts of alertness, head falling and posture tensing in fits and starts.
Met some old colleagues over coffee, happy reunion, helpful tips. Feels nice to have an offline peer group, to shoot random questions, or just for motivation. Exchanged some life updates. Will see them again soon.
As life updates go, having travelled in Africa was hard to beat. Mobile phones fun: You buy a sim card with two minutes of communication. Stout refurbished Nokia and the like. Buy more minutes on cards, by the minute. Prefer SMS for cheapness. More remote villages have bike taxis taking phones to an outlet. Maybe 25% of a median individual's budget goes into communications. And people asked my friend for facebook-friending after two minutes :P
