cutting it close

[totient]

I order green coffee to roast every few months, when the previous order is getting low. Usually this is between 12 and 20 pounds of coffee, since it lasts so much longer before it has been roasted. This last batch lasted longer than usual because I had some things distracting me from roasting coffee, but a week or two ago it was finally time to order more.

I just got some email from UPS saying that fifteen pounds of coffee had been delivered. That's good, because after pulling myself a shot or two this morning we're down to the last two ounces of roasted coffee.
