This Happened to me Today

I was the first person in the office today so I decided to be nice and start a pot of coffee. Silly me didn’t realize the stupid pot still contained coffee (we have these huge stainless steel canisters, hard to see how much is in there). Anyway, I start the pot and come back 10 minutes later to find this:

Coffee had overflowed from the pot, all over the water cooler below it, underneath the entire contraption, and had seeped onto the carpet (not shown in drawing). Then, I guess what could only be explained as splashes of coffee, covered the wall and nearby counter. So many splashes, in fact, that the coffee had started to pool on top of the counter and drip down the cabinets.

So, I spent the first 30 minutes of my day cleaning up coffee. Guess I really needed that cup.
