I read that as "ocean in wartime" and didn't even think that was weird.

That said, I love a fine cuppa tea, especially Sleepytime with honey.
John, would you say you are more into downers than uppers? Do you ever drink regular Coke?

Note: I don't hate tea in the least. In fact, I quite like it, as the drawer full of various kinds of bagged, loose, herbal, and caffeinated tea in our kitchen and the ownership of my very own proper tea pot demonstrates. I just vastly prefer coffee. Coffee is a magical drink.

OTM.

This is indeed true.
But boy, bad coffee is *really* bad. Bad tea is just kinda flat or tinny tasting, but bad coffee... woo. Ashtrays and assholes.

No, I miss coffee terribly. I *loved* the mental/creative stimulation it provided.
My antipathy for Diet Coke is mostly the empty metallic taste. Regular Coke is too syrupy. But I can't drink either, so the point is moot.

Also, I prefer the taste of really good coffee to tea. Which is why I drink ROASTAROMA tea every morning.

Due to some health issues, I went without caffeine for two years straight. I lost a lot of weight that way. Also, I developed a taste for Sprite.

Just as well. The Free Terrible Work Coffee is terrible. I'll just wait and get a good cup on the way to class.

How should I address this in my cover letter? I have really no experience in Photoshop, GoLive or InDesign, but I have many other skills and such that qualify me for this job.
"Knowledge and experience in website design and maintenance, and graphic design, and database management, as well as Adobe GoLive, InDesign and Photoshop or comparable is strongly recommended."
should i even mention it? say that i'm a quick learner? express a willingness to learn these programs on my own time outside of work?
