Everything I Am Afraid Might Happen If I Ask New Acquaintances to Get Coffee
This made me want to reflect on my own list and realized that it&#x27;s morphed somewhat over the years from:<p>- What if I invite them to coffee and I think they&#x27;re super awesome and they think I&#x27;m an idiot<p>To:<p>- What if I invite them to coffee and that 15 minutes turns into 4 hours and I still want to hang out more because they&#x27;re awesome (which they will be, because frankly I find everyone fascinating); except now I have this disquieting sense of guilt because none of the other projects I have scheduled to complete in this time are getting completed... or started, or thought about.<p>- What if I don&#x27;t invite them to coffee and they are or have some information to share that (combined with my own experience) is the key to my entire existence... or perhaps the future of humanity.<p>Maybe I let my mind get away with me sometimes...<p>Sometimes coffee is just a way to blow off 15 minutes with some amusing banter because sometimes it&#x27;s better to step away from the computer than it is to keep bashing your head against it.
