Is this really necessary?
Apparently so. Someone has to keep the coffee machine stocked.
Can't I just send an email?
No, that would be too efficient. We're not made of time.
What if I'm not feeling well enough to meet?
In that case, please don't. We don't want to risk our precious immune systems.
Can we meet in person?
No, that's just not happening. We have Zoom.
