I've worked in several offices, and most of them have coffee makers, marvelous machines that keep workers full of caffeine during their long tedious hours toiling under fluorescent lights.
But without fail there's an inherent problem: Whose "job" is it to make the coffee?
I feel there's a special place for people who leave just a tiny bit of java in the bottom of the pot. I guess it's the old "I didn't take the last sip, so I don't have to make another pot" syndrome.
I figure that if you have enough time to get a cup of coffee, then you should be able to find the time to make another pot while you're at it.
But alas, I'm sure we've all been culprits, filling our cups to the brim and sprinting from the lunch room, hoping that no one will see our indiscretion of not making more joe.
What's your feeling on the office coffee pot?
It's like the toilet paper roll....it takes a minute to stop and change it, but no one seems to be able to do it. I happen to be one of those people that make a new pot of coffee, even if there is two cups left in the old one, especially since I know we have two pots for regular here. Pour one into the other and you have an empty pot to make a new one....it's not rocket science...then again, for some, it may be.
