One of those mornings
Sometimes it's not a good idea to begin doing things before having had my morning shower. I thought I'd just get the coffee brewing before venturing off to fully waking up (which only happens after my shower) but that ended up to be a bit of a mistake. Half asleep/half awake, one eyeball open and the other still drippy/sleepy, I began by spilling the contents of the coffee can onto the kitchen counter and floor. After cleaning that up, I then broke a favorite piece of glassware when I pulled the coffee cup out of the cupboard. Shards of glass ended up in places you couldn't even fathom, so a lot of time was spent hunting down the little suckers (remember: one functioning eyeball.) After the requisite amount of expletives left my mouth, I decided to pour a cup of java and somehow missed the cup completely.
Imagine what I'd be like if I had really important things to take care of before my shower -- a frightening thought.

You need a kitchen robot helper.

No matter how drunk we are, no matter how tired we are, we always assemble the coffee-makings and set the timer before going to sleep.

I like Susan's idea. I would like a robot like that which also gets me dressed and brushed my teeth.

Hmm. Robots. I'd like one that can do 'other' things too. And clean up afterwards, of course.
I think it's time I had a slave. I deserve one.

Ah, see you just need the intravenous coffee machine. No mess, no fuss and you can control the flow.
But then again, a robot might just work as well.

Yes, Cindy, you really need a butler

It took me a couple of days as I couldn't remember what I called my imaginary servant, then I had to check a story I'd written for the answer: houseboy. That's what I need. :-)
Joost - butler? hmm... I think I'll call him Hobbs. :-)
Rob - I don't know, intravenous might be, oh, prickly.
P&T - hehe, I know what you're saying, REALLY.
Marcus - ooh, cabin boy. Do make that call!
Nedra - :-)
Blue - I'll have to get one with a timer... or, see above...
Susan - perhaps!
