I seem to have started a building-wide dispute, that has grown quite passionate, because of how the coffee is made. Yes, my coffee snobbery continues. It all started because on Friday afternoon we moved to a new location in our building (we were one of the few from our building who stayed in this building), and several hundred people from another building moved in with us. Because of our new location in the building, we had a new breakroom.
Apparently, the tenants of this other building feel it acceptable to make coffee using only 1 bag … the result is very, very weak coffee that does nothing for me, or the other old-schooler's, who are the hardcore 3-bag coffee drinkers. We seemed to have reached a building-wide resolution in less then 24 hours, thanks to some signs and instructions printed by myself and hung throughout the breakroom, at making coffee with 2 bags.
That was, until, a little old lady who is in her first week crossed out the "2" on all my signs and wrote in marker — in marker! — "1.5" bags. Now, we haave people rising against the previous group concencious made earlier and again lobbying for the 1 bag. In turn, my team has responded with 2.5 bags, just to keep up with the image of the "bitter coffee drinkers."
So, now, I was just informed — we are actually going to have a group meeting about this, and try to reach a general conclusion.
That is one issue — the other issue with the new security guard walking around and closing the blinds on all our windows — that's a different battle for a different day.
