Why You Can't Get a Decent Cup of Coffee
It's not you, it's the system. The system is designed to thwart your every attempt at caffeine-fueled productivity.
Did you know that in our esteemed organization, the Bureaucratic Red Tape Reduction Initiative has identified 17 different forms you must fill out before you can even order a cup of coffee?
And that's not counting the 3 separate meetings you'll need to attend to discuss the merits of the coffee machine's font size and the 4 different committees you'll need to navigate to get approval for the creamer budget.
- Form 345-B: Coffee Machine Preference Form ( requires 3.4 hours to complete)
- Form 421-D: Caffeine Intake Risk Assessment ( requires 2.1 hours to complete)
- Form 911-G: Departmental Approval for Coffee Break Timesheet ( requires 1.8 hours to complete)
Don't worry, it's not like you'll ever actually get to drink the coffee. You'll just be filling out forms in a windowless basement with a view of the supply closet.
