It's the Important Things That Truly Matter

I get free coffee/tea at work.

We have a handful of moderately cared for K-cup coffee machines, and an assortment of flavored coffees and teas to choose from. In my current state of mind, I feel like being whiny and picky.

I have a morning routine. I pop the last used k-cup out of the holder. I fill my mug with 10 ounces of hot water to clear out the last bits of coffee from the previous user. I then take a paper towel and wipe down the spout where the water/coffee/tea comes out (every time, without fail, I wipe out coffee grinds and gook. Yes, gook). Then I feel like I've done my part to eradicate any coffee flavor, and can brew my tea.

This process may seem tedious and obsessive-compulsive, but for those of you who know of my sensitive palette, it is a necessary evil. So today, after completing my de-coffee-ing procedure for the 2nd time, I was sorely disappointed when I walked away with french roast flavored green tea.

These are the trying times in my life. Thanks for listening.
