true office confessions

because A LOT CAN happen between 9 and 5. If you work in an office, or just plain work for the MAN then you may or may not have visited TrueOfficeConfessions.com Its a total slacker website where plebeians like myself focus about 50% of our time when we should be doing actual work. The premise is simple, you go to the website and reveal your office "confession" or basically recount your horrors of what you observe going on in the workplace.

Well, paging Dr. Phil...here is my confession for today. Some asshole nutjobs keep putting 2 packets of coffee into the coffee machine in the hopes that it will some how magically make the coffee more stronger. This ain't Starbucks bitches! It's not the same as giving yourself an extra shot of expresso to get your jollies on. But what is the same as is making a complete f'n mess of the place and duping poor souls such as myself into drinking horribly shit tasting coffee.

So why don't I simply brew a new pot of coffee with only 1 packet? I normally do, but these asshats have done the impossible of breaking 3 consecutive coffee machines in a matter of a few months. By putting 2 packets of coffee grounds in the machine, the machine gets backed up, overflows, and short circuits the electrical panel of the machine. And it now looks like the coffee machine barfed all over the break room floor.

Ignore the fact that there are warnings posted around the coffee machine to brew only 1 packet at a time, but of course these morons happen to be call office "technicians" who know all there is about jack shit. Sure, they can tell you what the Oakland Raiders record has been for the past 10 years, but they sure as hell can't brew a single pot of coffee.

So now the coffee machine is broken again once more and I have to seek outside means to get my cup of grog, rather than grab a cup of what should normally be an easily accessible (and free) cup of joe.

Screw that I'm going home and grabbing a beer. Later y'all!
