Coffee... It's Like Beer... For the Office
I'm a HUGE coffee fan. Fan... addict... same difference. I love it. I drink it in the morning, after meals, with dessert, when I'm cold... whenever. I especially like it in the office because it keeps me awake and going to get it is an excuse to leave my desk for a while and wander the concourse under my building.
So this morning, I'm standing around with my coffee, talking to a number of my colleagues holding their coffees, and I realized that this was the office version of standing around a kitchen with beers at a house party. Then I wanted a beer. This is how my mind works. These thoughts that seem like they're going to be some ground-breaking insight into our world either turn into a justification for opening fire with my much-coveted Rocket Launcher, or somehow into a desire to consume alcohol.
Anyways, so I'm standing there wanting a beer when I realized that having beer in the office wouldn't be a bad idea. I would work so much better if I could toss back a Heineken in the afternoon, or start my day with a crisp, cold bottle of Moosehead (although drinking booze at 9am is usually frowned upon in nearly every social circle outside of University or College).
I think it's time to start a new Workplace revolution. We did it with casual dress, now let's do it with casual drinking. Who's with me?
