I'm not good at everything

I used to consider myself a pretty decent coffee maker. I bought my first coffee maker when Sarah and I moved in together and I spent many mornings brewing for the both of us.
I recently quit drinking coffee for about 2 months, but since its really cold I picked it up again. I only drink it black no sugar no creamer.

Today I made coffee in the break room. I sat at my desk while it brewed and when I returned to fill up my cup, this conversation happened

Me: *cleaning off my mug*
coworker: Don't drink that coffee yet, its not done.
Me: No way really?
coworker: Yeah I came in here and got a cup and it tasted like shit so we remade it.
Me: *blushing* Oh... it was bad?
coworker: yeah apparently whoever made it just left the old coffee grounds in there and put fresh ones on top, which made it taste like shit...
Me: oh...

Ok I DID NOT put new coffee on top of old coffee, i'm not retarded. I used a fresh filter and I put the appropriate ammount of coffee grounds in.

Apparently I'm not as good as I thought I was at making coffee. I'll leave that to the deaffies from now on.

Ha ha. Oh no! Maybe just give it one more shot and see what happens. I bought this freaking awesome coffee maker, it's one of those ones with the little frother and the espresso maker built in. Well the first time I used it, Jesse took the little thing that holds the espresso off before it had cooled down, and it exploded all over me. It was scary. I was screaming, and when I looked up at Jesse I had coffee all over my face and hair, and he was freaking out because he thought I was burned. It was crazy. But you know, it's worth it. Because a good cup of coffee is like a little dream.

P.S. Thanks for the support on the whole book club thing. I think that needed to be said. Ha ha.
