Gratuitious Cranky First Thing In The Morning Posting

With all other coffee makers I've owned, the little light goes on to tell you that the machine is on.

For some inexplicable reason, Mr. Coffee chose to design the machine I have in my office so that the little light goes on when the machine is off.

I've had this thing for quite some time but it still manages to trip me up on occassion.

"Well," you say, "You should just pay more attention."

Yes, that's all very well. But in order to pay attention first thing in the morning, I need some coffee.

"Then have a cup," you say, "It'll help you focus."

Yes, that's what I was trying to do. But I couldn't because I forgot about the damned backwards on/off light again.

"Well, then you've got yourself one heck of a circular problem there, Jim," you say.

Humph. And just who the hell asked you, anyway?
