We received our footlockers the other day. Mine contained my Cuisinart thermal carafe coffee maker. With the events of the past week, I didn't really much care about coffee...but yesterday and today I made a pot of decent (German) java, and before I knew it, folks from the adjoining offices were ringing our doorbell and asking where that great coffee aroma was coming from. Of course I shared, and in so doing have changed our own office from a quiet backwater to the functional equivalent of a Combat Starbuck's. Since the outgoing team left a cornucopia of coffee, it's essentially a free service for the representatives of the MNC-I Criminal Justice System. I didn't expect to even want a cup of joe, given the high temperatures even in the a.m., but it's amazing what a Pavlovian response is triggered by the smell of fresh-brewed coffee...in an air-conditioned plywood structure!

Haven't had a decent cuppa joe at work since you left. :)
ReplyDeleteCome on by, my brother...there's a fresh pot right now!
ReplyDeleteDo I need to bring my own mug, or is your new place full-service?
ReplyDeleteYou ready for a re-fill on your previous order yet? We meet our new exchange student in a couple of days and it would be a great experience for her to see how we support our soldiers.
