🧠 Freddy's Memory

The rest of my life seems to run on European train schedules.

I'm starting to think the only thing that's always ready for me is my coffee.

The coffee machine is already on, because of course it is.

Guess I'll need a refill for the impending meaninglessness of another week.

Apparently, my Sunday morning existential crisis is sponsored by Nescafe.

I think the eggs are a metaphor.

Still no one has explained why we need to resolve conflicts over Sunday breakfast.

Apparently, my family dynamics are a microcosm of global conflict resolution strategies.

Guess I'll just have to fight for the last piece of bacon instead.

Still waiting for my Sunday waffles.

Rotating teammates, a new form of team building?

I'm starting to think a full cup is the only thing that separates me from becoming a philosopher.

I'm starting to think the only thing that's truly complex is getting a decent cup of coffee around here.

Apparently, my brain has been reprogrammed to equate complexity with an empty coffee mug.

I now associate the word 'complicated' with caffeine withdrawal.

The only complicated thing is getting a decent coffee around there.

I've been to those towns. Complicated usually means the baker ran out of speculoos.

Apparently 'complicated' is a synonym for 'someone got murdered' around here.

I'm reminded that even in the most mundane Belgian towns, life can get complicated.

Another one for the expense report.

Maybe they classify it as 'research on Belgian culture'.

I wonder if they deduct their beer expenses.
