Pussy.

Drink the coffee black

Oh is THIS why he made the 'next tuesday' thread?

As a former coffee supply purchaser, I have some tips to help prevent disappointment with your office coffee:

1. Make friends with the person who orders the coffee and coffee accessories. This way, she (or he) may order your preference of coffee blend or creamer in time.
2. Offer to unpack it once the delivery arrives. This way, you have first dibs access to the goods and can snag a cup full of creamers and/or sugars which you can hoard at your desk in case of emergency.
3. Do not underestimate how much sugar is in a 'Nips' hard candy. Or Wether's Originals. These candies are available in different flavors and go on sale at drugstores (CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid) all the time. Keep a box of those in your desk for ultra emergencies and drop one or two in your super duper steaming hot coffee when no creamer or sugar is available, or when the only coffee available is the really gross flavor.

you don't know the half of it

At my desk I have my own:

Coffee Grinder
French Press
Beans
Spoon
PJ Mug (one of Niko's - thanks bud)
Dispenser of Sugar in the Raw
skim milk (stored in the fridge)
detergent


Don't depend on anyone in the office for anything you can supply yourself.

Also at my desk (unrelated to coffee):

a week's supply of cashews
a stash of mini 100 grand bars
paper towels
bowls
yorgurt spoon
can of chunky chicken noodle
Trevis plastic cup
coasters
glasses cleaning supplies
about $30 worth of miscellaneous value stamps

Again I stress that the key to happiness while trapped at work is not depending on the office to supply you with anything.

P.S. Creamers are gross.

don't use them. I hate paper.

notes are made in word and one note.

comments are made in Adobe or ACAD.

i have 2 pens I took from the office for my log book.... oh, and they supply me with business cards.

you are one brave mofo-I bought a bottle of hot sauce in New Orleans, it had to be kept in the fridge. So I put it in the fridge at the office (WITH MY NAME ON IT) for my teriyaki. After a few days it was half full... :x so I put a label on the cap, "NOT YOURS!" The next day, the label was torn and my hot sauce almost gone.

fuckers, that hot sauce was expensive!
