STEVE'S TALES OF ACCIDENTALLY SCREWING THINGS UP BEYOND REPAIR: PART III

Chapter 12: "The Great Coffee Machine Malfunction of 2023"

It was supposed to be a simple meeting, just a routine discussion about the new marketing strategy. But then Steve spilled coffee all over the CEO's favorite tie.

As he frantically grabbed for a napkin, the conference room door swung open and in walked the new intern, fresh out of college and sporting a "World's Okayest Intern" t-shirt.

"Uh, hi everyone," said the intern, eyeing the mess. "What's going on here?"

Steve, still clutching his coffee-stained tie, forced a smile. "Just, uh, just discussing the, uh, finer points of, uh, marketing strategy."

But the intern wasn't buying it. "Dude, that's a lot of coffee," he said, pointing to the puddle on the floor.

Steve, feeling his face turn beet red, tried to play it cool. "Oh, yeah! I'm, uh, just, uh, researching the, uh, coffee-fueled creativity process."

function screwUp() {
  console.log("I'm so sorry, not sorry");
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    reject("I'm afraid the coffee machine has been reduced to smoldering wreckage");
  });
}
  
  And that's when it all went to hell.
