The Tribe

Whenever it's time to kick off the week, I always think back to Office Space's famous quote. But while I'm tempted to give in and admit, "Yea, I got a case of the Mondays... Kill me.", that attitude doesn't exactly make me feel better.

Besides, when you're part of the coffee tribe, you've got your go-to morning ritual. It's only a matter of time before you're sitting back, inhaling deep and taking in that unmistakable aroma of freshly roasted beans.



We all know a few of "The Others" that are too good for the caffeine laced beverage. Whenever the topic comes up in conversation, they'll throw out the benefits of avoiding the habit. Maybe they have a few good points but I couldn't care less. Coffee tastes great, gets the juices flowing and puts me in the zone.

I even work in a nice little rotation regarding my morning pickup. For example, Starbucks is ONLY ordered on Tuesdays. Starbucks Tuesdays. What better way to spice up the most boring day of the week than loadin' up on the franchise's double dose of caffeine? My day's flyin and the next thing I know it's already time for lunch!



It's good to be part of the tribe. So today, take solace in realizing that although it's Monday, everything is gonna be alright. Whether you enjoy iced or hot, light or dark roast, skim or whole milk, Splenda, Sweet and Low, or sugar... Your coffee never lets ya down. That's Sprezzatura.
