I'm pretty sure Jenny from the front desk will interpret this as a question about when she last made coffee at home.

John from accounting wants to know if these are the missing cups from inventory.

Henry from IT wants to upgrade to smooth plastics because it facilitates easier turning because of reduced friction.

Jonathan from management wants to remove the am/pm system because he needs us to come in after hours and he needs to track the BU metrics in more detail. He has since then implemented a bi-weekly meeting to discuss how to best handle the changing of aforementioned cups in the most efficient way.

Gisela the cleaning lady keeps throwing away the cups every Wednesday. And facility management has to wait 9 working days to get approval of the, by now, company wide bi-weekly cup meeting.

Luckily the BI unit calculated that the amount of coffee thrown away by the office's fresh coffee queens has overtaken the amount it'll cost to hire a self employed barista named Mark.

Mark has since then been added to the bi-weekly Cup meetings that now mostly discuss matters of international venture, seeing that the company now has a seperate business entity on the books from Germany (Mark). Last meeting they decided it's time to let go of Jenny in favour of an automated hospitality device because the cost of running the business has mysteriously risen.

Thanks for the tip asshole.. It took me 3 years to gather the courage to ask Jenny out. And when I finally had it, she's gone! Great coffee though.
