We have, in my wing of the building, four pots (vacuum caraffes, actually) of coffee — French Roast, Costa Rican, Vanilla, and Decaf.<\/p>\n
I make, on the average, 3-4 pots of coffee a day at the office.<\/p>\n
I usually start a pot when I come into work. When I go back to the coffee room, I’ll start a new pot while pouring from the one I just made.<\/p>\n
Despite having a large cup and a significant caffeine habit, I can guarantee you that I don’t drink that much. I probably don’t drink more than a single pot, over the course of a day.<\/p>\n
But each time I go in to pour myself a cup, especially if it’s before lunch, I check to see if any of the pots are empty. And, if so, I start a new one.<\/p>\n
I don’t understand why folks leave empty pots of coffee, or pots with just a little bit left in them. Really. It’s not difficult to start a new pot. It’s not even time-consuming. (I timed myself once. Under a thirty seconds.)<\/p>\n
Are folks lazy? Are they just unaware? Are they parasites upon the citizenry?<\/p>\n
I just don’t understand.<\/p>\n
(Any more than I understand why, with all the Good Coffee Pot Filling Karma I must have built up over the years, am still just as likely to find my preferred flavor gone whenever I go into the coffee room.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
