Free Cup of Coffee for National Coffee Day

The stock market is open on National Coffee Day, in case you were wondering or were like Kramer from Seinfeld and thought you should have off on Arbor Day and such. Well, since it is National Coffee Day, and because we have a column we like to call "Today's Coffee," and given the dearth of economic reports today, we thought we would give you a special Coffee article, and directions to where to get that free cup of Jo today.

It's true, by the way. It really is National Coffee Day, a day in which we honor coffee, and drink it up manicly like usual of course. I drink at least four cups a day, after cutting back due to hallucinations.

Unfortunately, there will be no coffee shop hop today, like the annual bar hopping fun that occurs in my Upper East Side neighborhood every St. Patrick's Day, but there are a few retailers offering special deals and even free cups of coffee for the hooked on this very special holiday. Take advantage of it dear friends, and get some of your hard earned money back from the servers of our addiction.

The most important thing about National Coffee Day is that you can score yourself a free cup across the country if you are smart. I would look for more if I were you, but here are the free coffee deals we found for today:

• LaMars Donuts and Coffee – Get a free 12 ounce coffee on September 29th when presenting this free printable coupon at participating locations.


• Dunkin' Donuts – Stop by participating Dunkin' Donuts and receive a free cup of coffee. The company will also donate a portion of their sales to Special Olympic groups.


• Boca Java – Boca Java is offering free shipping today in honor of the holiday. Come on! You can do better than that!


• Java Café – Java Café will offer drinks at a 50 percent discount from 7 A.M. – 12:00 P.M. on the 29th.


• Starbucks – Nada! No! You won't get a free cup from Starbucks today according to every source I checked, including their website (Nasdaq: SBUX).


• McDonald's – No free deal from McDonald's either! Talk about missing an opportunity! I'm a little p'd at McDonalds these days, after they tried to charge me $1.40 for a cup the other night, even though I ordered food. Come on McDonald's. We want Greek friendly service. (NYSE: MCD)


• Tim Horton's - No Deal!!! (NYSE: THI)


• Peet's Coffee & Tea (Nasdaq: PEET): Saw no special deals!!!


• Green Mountain Coffee Roasters – No deal as far as we can see, and the company is in trouble with the SEC today too; the shares are down some 14%. Yikes!

Not all locations will be participating in the free or discounted offer. Call ahead or check the website for details.

The Mayo Clinic published this bit of relevant information for coffee lovers who care about how much caffeine their cuppa joe (Canadian editorial - we employ all sorts) contains:

1. Dunkin' Donuts, brewed, 16 oz (480 mL) 143-206
2. Generic brewed, 8 oz (240 mL) 95-200
3. Generic brewed, decaffeinated, 8 oz (240 mL) 2-12
4. Generic instant, 8 oz (240 mL) 27-173
5. Generic instant, decaffeinated, 8 oz (240 mL) 2-12
6. Starbucks Espresso, 1 oz (30 mL) 58-75
7. Starbucks Vanilla Latte, 16 oz (480 mL) 150

So that's why I like Dunkin' Donuts coffee so much! (will accept money from DD for this, or coffee I guess). By the way, The Greek has yet to decide on his favorite brand of Greek Coffee... Send Coffee!

Top Ten Signs You Are Getting Fired

In today's tough labor market, the few of us with jobs are constantly looking over our shoulders. It's important to catch rumors and notice the warning signs that might signal a trip to the firing line. There are important things to look for, and we've listed the top ten signs you are getting fired for you here. Pay attention now!

Top Ten Signs You Are Getting Fired:

10 - When you accept Congress' request to take a position in the Treasury Department or a recently government bailed out firm, where your responsibilities will include the noble task of cleaning up someone else's mess...

9 - A month after honestly responding to an "anonymous review," your boss introduces you to his new "best friend" - who happens to be an IT techie dude you never saw him with before...

8 - When you notice emails you've never read have already been opened. Then later that same week you catch your girlfriend having dinner with your boss... OR the techie!

7 - When your supervisor, who usually comes in at 10:00 AM, suddenly turns tardy and starts beating you in. As you settle into your chair just a little late as usual, you can't help but notice him smugly typing an email entitled "Our evil trap is working."

6 - When colleagues notice your monitor is cracked and your hand is bleeding; and when they ask you if you are okay, they don't seem to believe your response about the "electrical surge."

5 - When your lunch buddies are suddenly too busy to eat with you due to what they term "pariah-itis"...

4 - When you catch the unmistakable whiff of urine around your cubicle...

3 - When the government purchases a majority stake in the bank where you are the CEO.

2 - As you boot up your computer, new software uploads and a smiley face appears on your screen and softly says, "Don't panic. This is a routine software upgrade. Why don't you go have a cup of coffee now? You deserve a break."

1 - When passing you in the restroom, your boss kindly says "hello dear friend," and then under his breath adds smartly, "I'm gonna fire you pal!"
