by the time i write this the pot will be brewed...

if someone can send an inter-office email about tin foil and plastic wrap [here], then i should be able to send the following rant:

dear co-workers,

it has been broughten* to my attention that one of you took the last cup of coffee and failed to brew another pot. now i fully understand the effort it takes, having done it several times myself, to make a new pot. you gotta measure out five even tablespoons full, put it into the filter, press the button, and like magic here comes the liquid power! so work** with us here! its not even 9:00 - obviously people are going to be wanting more coffee. in the office, there are those of us who drink the coffee and those of us who make+drink the coffee. what side of that fence do you really want to be on? have some common courtesy and brew another pot.

sincerely, under-caffeinated and unproductive [at no fault of my own]

*i use "broughten" instead of "brought" for my own amusement - i am fully aware of my grammatical error.
**pun fully intended, although i'm sure few will actually get it.
