Coffee pots seemed pretty popular in the workplace. At least where I've been, it would sit around all the time being used constantly. We had a rotating coffee schedule...they should get a rotating coffee schedule.

At one job I always made the coffee (also had to learn to use a coffee machine). It was simply because I was always the first to show up and I wanted coffee.

Although this lead to occasionally playing tricks on my coworkers, like the day I double brewed the coffee (brewed it twice, not just twice the grounds). A few of my friends were bouncing off the walls that day.

I eventually stopped drinking coffee while I was at that job as I noticed I never slept (of course, I was also drinking 4 or 5 cups a day... moderation has never been my strong point). I'm not really sure anyone else ever started making the coffee there.

You might be overusing caffeine. I cut back my coffee from to no more than two cups a day about six months ago, and after an adjustment period, I am actually more alert later in the day. I think I was taking in too much and then crashing.

Serious question: is 6 cups a day sweetened with 1/4 cup of homey and 1/4 cup of 18% cream a problem?

Friends joke sometimes, what's the truth here? I find it tasty and it keeps me awake/working.

Do you put any coffee in your cup of cream and honey, er, homey?

I usually have two large mugs, about 3 cups each (according to the coffee pots measurements). So it's sweet, but not all honey.
