A few nights back, I was chatting with my older daughter about funny things which happen at work. She chuckled and said like teaching the boss to make his own coffee. I asked what she was referring to. She said a co-worker approached her one day and commented she was sooooo lucky to have a boss who didn’t expect her to get up and make his coffee for him. The co-worker inquired how she managed it. | |
My daughter explained she didn’t actually. She began working for her boss as an office intern while in high school. Her only experience with adults drinking coffee up till then was her parents (my wife and I) drinking instant coffee. When she was asked to make some coffee, she added a couple of spoonfuls of ground coffee to the pot, poured in some boiling hot water, and gave it a stir. Voila! | |
She didn’t realize ground coffee went in a separate place and required a filter… | |
No one actually complained, but no one asked her to make a pot of coffee for quite awhile after that. | |
