the inability to finish

anyone who has ever lived with me knows first hand that i have the inability to finish a drink [any drink]. somehow i've grown to dislike the bottom inch or so of my glass. [a very similar trait to the girl in the Signs.]

the other issue i have is that i can never remember to take the glass to the kitchen. this causes a bit of a problem when you are sharing the use of the glasses with someone else. my poor roommates. this is my sincere apology for all the times that you have gone to the kitchen in desperation for a drink and have opened the cupboard to find it empty. i am sure my mother can attest to this weirdness as well. i remember a few scoldings for why my juice glass was left on the end table in the living room and was asked on several occasions why i couldn't find it in me to take it to the kitchen.

right now i think i have about 6 glasses in my bedroom right now. i know for a fact the wine glass is empty :) the others though... pretty sure those have a remaining 1/4" of water chilling at the bottom. why i dont walk them to the kitchen is beyond me. i guess it's a bit of laziness.

this quark of mine follows me to work too.  the sad thing is that i have 4 coffee cups on my desk. 4 cups. FOUR! however, these are empty.

put.them.away.

doesnt seem that hard. right? sometimes dealing with myself is a chore.

if i wanted to psychoanalyze myself, i would say i have the inability to finish things-in general [like my marketing budget or cleaning out my car]. so i take it out primarily on my glasses. but i feel like that is a much deeper issue than i am willing to get into while on lunch.

the pros to having this quark is that i am not a HOT coffee drinker. yes, this might be gross to some, but i enjoy a semi warm cup of coffee. if it gets too cold then i wont drink it, but if its lukewarm then i am content. that being said, it takes me a long time to finish a cup of coffee, but it can be done. it has been done. so by the time i am half way done with my coffee its just about the right temp.

in meetings at work, co-workers can go through two cups of coffee while i am still sipping on my one...only about 1/4 of the way done with my cup. takes me forever!

with patience and determination i am sure i will over come this weirdness - as i annoy myself when i want something to drink and cant find a glass because they are all scattered throughout my apartment, filled 1/2 way with water. awesome. we need to work on this a bit more.
