How hard is it to make a pot of coffee??!!!?
-
Okay it's Monday, and I really wasn't ready for the weekend to be over when I walked into the office this morning. I get to my desk, flip to CP and start catching up on rants/interesting quips and what not and decide I'd better get a cup of coffee and get to coding.......The bloody put is left with one measly sip of java simmering at the bottom of the gol' darn pot. How lazy can a person be to intentionally leave just that much in the bottom of the pot so they don't have to use 3 extra muscles to refill the water and add more coffee to a filter. I mean c'mon it takes all of 15 seconds and the rest of the office will be in a better mood for it. I hate Mondays!!:mad::mad: An american football fan Go Seahawks!! Lil Turtle
My fir:-Ost day of my holiday - 3 weeks. Okay, I had to wake up very early, becouse the chimney sweeper came at 7:00. But then - pushing a button on my coffee machine for a good creamy coffee. Loking a little bit TV, reading a new book. I love mondays (when they are holiday-mondays);P;P;P -- modified at 11:39 Monday 17th July, 2006

I'm thinking that it is part of the office heirarchy of break-room use. There are many people who think that it is everyone elses responsibility to make sure that the little things are done, eg: make coffee, refill the paper in the networked printers, etc. Then there are those that do some of these things some of the time but all in all still want others to do them. As the progression moves up you finally come to the 'everyone else' folks, those few that take it upon themselves to make sure that not only do they have what they need to do the job but also that there is enough for the next bloke that comes along. I'm not trying to say that I am always at the top of the pyramid, but it would be nice to be in a circle of courtesy where everyone pitches in for the greater good. Coffee's kicking in and I'm emersed in my project, I can feel the petty rants of pre-caffine wearing off.:-> An american football fan - Go Seahawks! Lil Turtle

a couple of years ago my boss told everyone that he was going to put a camera in the break room to find out 'who thinks his mommy works here' and put a camera (not attached to anything mind you) on top of the frig. It was so funny...the break room was never so well cared for I live in Colorado - hard for me to cheer for the Seahawks! (but not really much of an american football fan anyway) cje

That is every office I think. Our Admin Asst put up a sign showing a cute little picture of a fairy saying "The coffee Fairy does not exist, make another pot!" _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

Thanks, but btw, why don't you make the coffee yourself. I'm doing this since years. So the others have to drink my coffee and I can decide how to make him:-D
I've noticed that several of my office mates have started using their own coffee makers in their offices, but as I only have 1 or maybe 2 cups a day it is 'not economically viable'(which movie is that from:cool:). Besides it's not that I really mind remaking the pot myself, it's just that I wish more folks would do it so I don't have to wait. An American football fan - Go Seahawks! Lil Turtle

Call Terry Tate: Office linebacker Comes in and knocks down the person who didnt fill the coffee pot "Kill the joe...you make some more or your in for a long day..." You might find the video on youtube on that super bowl commerical... :)

This is why I enjoy working for myself. If there is a personnel issue, I take it up with the management. If someone keeps leaving the coffee pot empty, I slap them around. :laugh: Charlie Gilley Will program for food... Whoever said children were cheaper by the dozen... lied. My son's PDA is an M249 SAW.

Bummer. Now how is the break room going to be tidy without it?
