I work for a company that makes coffee related products and manufactures a specialty coffee sub-brand and yet - finding a good cup of joe around here is a constant needle in a haystack task.
Case and point: There are 2 "cafe" stations on campus, both of which were closed this morning due to a holiday gathering in the main "quad" which was offering beverages and snacks to those who donated to the charity of the day. I had no time for such niceties and just wanted my damn coffee, but alas, there was none.
So I accepted the fate of the morning and decided to hit the vending machine in my building on the way to my desk only to discover the pixelated blue text in the window flashing tauntingly "COINS ONLY"; as if it knew I had a pocket full of dollar bills.
The afternoon coffee hunt will force me to walk across campus to the store, purchase a single slice of gum, only to return to my building and hope the machine isn't also out of cups (as it was once last week and auto-brewed my cup of french vanilla right down the drain).
