We have a little break room, 20' or so from me. There is a small coffee machine, fridge, sink. Normally its pretty quiet, every now and they you here a few people getting coffee, then they move on..........

Last Monday, someone wanted us to test this Expresso/Cupachannio (sp?) machine. The day they put it there, it was cute and I enjoyed my drink. Since that day, it's been nothing but living he** for me and this floor!!!! (Im hoping the da** thing breaks!)

1. It takes 2 minutes to load and prep this thing for Expresso, another 1.5 minutes to make it, another 1 minute to clean it up. Making Cupachannio adds an additional 1.5 minutes or so. Here is where my problem is.............

They get together in packs of 10+. During this 45 minutes dance, I listen to the conversation about this machine while they decide who is next.

If you have never had or seen cupachannio made, They steam fresh milk till its fomy, then add expresso, sugar, and stil. When they steam that milk, it sounds like jet aircraft fireing up. Cannot here conversation on phone. matter fact, no one on this floor can.

By the time THAT group gets done, another 10 or show up!

Another thing, at 10AM I went for smoke, posse was there talking. 11:AM went out again and same posse still there. I started typing this at 11:15 when posse moved on. agh............
