Being cheap...

I've mastered the coffee machine at work.

While we have a "Seattle's Best" cafe in the library, I feel guilty buying myself a coffee every morning, especially when they sit at $1.85 a pop. It doesn't really go with my whole "lack of guilty pleasures" Lenten resolution. So my fall back is the coffee machine in the lunch room, which ordinarily dispenses acidic brown water. But at $0.50 a mug, you can't beat it.

*ahem*

The trick is to hold your mug off to the side to avoid the superfluous water dumpage. All you get is the brown stuff (and some rogue coffee grounds.)

*adjusts smart person glasses*

Yup.

I'm basically awesome.
