Someone has coffee machine troubles, and it reminds me of this “fun” anecdote and/or distressing experience
(I am a tea drinker, so it didn’t affect me as much):

Many employers ago, the office coffee machine broke. As it happens in programmer-filled rooms, total panic ensued.

Then someone said, “I have coffee!” and the crowd lit up.

However, the coffee was instant, powdery, and decaf.

Never before did I come this close to witnessing a murder.

@mahryekuh that’s called a “bait and switch” 😅

@mahryekuh it was justified, that's like throwing grass in a hot cup of water and calling it tea!

@hvdklauw Oh yeah, I totally get it.

The poor intern also got it after that day. 😆

@mahryekuh Desperate times call for desperate measures.

@funnelfiasco
@mahryekuh No, desperate times call for coffee!!! Lots of it, with lots and lots of caffeine!!!

@mahryekuh that's almost as bad as putting some consumer grade teabag into a mug and calling it "tea".

Back soon, just off to make a pot of organic jade sword and jasmine.
