Getting Coffee.

A co-worker was in the break room when I went in to get a cup of coffee.

"You know, say what you will about all the fancy Colombian coffees out there," he said.  "But nothing beats just a regular cup of American workplace coffee."

I looked at the bag of ground coffee next to the coffee maker.  It was a brand imported from Colombia.

"Yup," I said while giving a small laugh.  "That is so true."

I made it an effort to never speak to him again for the rest of my life.

New Chairs.

Our boss called the staff into the meeting room today to discuss new chairs for the office.  He delivered a brief pep talk about the importance of chair quality, and how our current chairs are apparently terrible for us.  He then revealed to us a collection of office chairs of various sizes and styles.  Everyone got a chance to sit in each one and share their thoughts.  The winning chair was almost unanimous - the Alera Elusion Series Black Mesh Mid-Back Swivel Tilt Chair.  The cost is $350 per chair.  They will arrive next week.  I think I am going to ask if I can keep my old chair.

Fax Machine.

Sherry walked into my cubicle yesterday morning and told me that the fax machine wasn't working properly.

At home that night I thought about my life.
