I’m generally a very upbeat person. I only occasionally get crushing episodes of despair. Fortunately they don’t last more than a couple of days and then I’m me again.
As for my coffee cup: It’s half-full, but only because I already have a cup-and-a-half in me. *hehe*
In the repair business, pessimism is a necessary skill. You have to be able to look at something, understand that it will eventually fail, and guess what part will fail first–so you’ll have the needed parts on hand when it happens.
Sorry, been drinking my coffee pitch black – no cream, no sugar – for decades. My wife got me a coffee cup once that had a cartoon lion in it drinking coffee, with the caption: “Those of real character take their coffee black.”
While I’ll gladly admit SOME wuss coffee drinkers who pollute the Obsidian Nectar of True Life can have real character, ALL those who drink it without a trace of flawed human meddling additives have real character. (And more than a few of them are real characters. *hehe*)
I don’t know about the Bailey’s… I prefer to drink it straight, myself.
Yes… the size of the glass must be taken under consideration… so but what yer saying is… that when the liquid dips into the improper area…. you need to redesign the container? No, I think you add more Bailey’s.
Can’t do black, Pete… I tried less sugar, but then I had to add more cream… I have been experimenting since I got back from France with different coffee bevs. Today it was a Macchiato… not enough cream, though.

Pete… if you have a cup half full, it leaves room for cream!
Baileys?
The optimist says the glass is half full.
The pessimist says the glass is half empty.
The engineer says you used the wrong size glass.
Ugh… I am neither optimist nor pessimist in regards to the half full question – I am a literalist.
If the cup was filled halfway then it is half full.
If it was full, then I drank it halfway down then it is half empty.
In most other regards I lean towards pessimist – it means that most surprises tend to be pleasant….
The Auld Grump – a smile may use fewer muscles than a frown, but that just means that I am exercising…. 😛

Brig… Cream? CREAM?!?
