coffee, tea or me?

by

you know, we’ve gone over this before. there are just certain things you do not do at the company coffee corner. this isn’t even about leaving the cream on the counter to spoil so that i get a nice batch of cottage cheese-like moo juice floating in my otherwise perfect cup of coffee. this is about those wretches, you know who they are, who don’t make another pot.
not one, but both, coffee pots were empty when i just went over to fetch my required second cup of joe. whoever left them that way wasn’t even repentant enough to put them back in place to pretent like there was something in them. no! they were sitting on the counter, lids perched atop the carafes, screaming “i just drank the last cup of coffed you have to make more you big LOSER!” grr.
i mean, really. is it really that very difficult to scoop some grounds, fill a resevoir and press an “on” button? no, i don’t think so. this obviously means i work with the lowest form of humans. i’m really quite disappointed in them. especially from that particular coffee centre. they’re known for being the most anal and precise bunch on this floor.
what really gets me is that, when i finally remember to go back and get some of that coffee i just made, i will probably miss my window of opportunity and only have the dregs after their gang swarms upon the fresh java during their regularly-scheduled ten a.m. coffee break. bastards.

    see? that’s why i don’t drink coffee. it’s too dependant on other people.

    if you can’t beat em, put ground hash in there instead.
    mind you that’s a pretty expensive and wasteful gag.

    That should be “whoever left them” not “whomever” for what it’s worth. ;)

    You cannot attempt to correct the grammar of a Canadian. When cornered, they’ll just say something like, “well that’s the way WE learned it” ;)

    actually, i rely on heather to keep my whos and whoms in check as i never did get a handle on what the difference was between them.

    If you’d say “he” use “who.” If you’d say “him” use “whom.” It’s that simple. :)
    Now, I know not to attempt to correct superluous u’s, though, Dor. ;)
