Mark makes the coffee.
I didn’t instate the rule, but it’s ironclad. You don’t mess with Office Laws, and this one’s right at the top.
So when there isn’t a mug of coffee on your desk precisely at 8:15 -- Mark is never late, this is why he makes the coffee -- you are immediately alarmed.
“No coffee?” You receive blank stares from your coworkers, all coffee-deprived zombies. This is officially a crisis.
The break room is deserted, the coffeemaker cold and dark and definitely not filled with fresh, hot coffee.
You have a headache; Mark’s desk has a starbucks receipt.
