I headed into the office today with a little extra pep in my step (I usually have to drag my unwilling feet in) today because I had accumulated enough "frequent flyer" coffee points for a free coffee! It is easy to ignore the savings of $1.60/day for the 24 ounces of coffee I purchase which I could realize by simply brewing my coffee at home when I am rewarded for my blind loyalty to the acceptable flavor and ridiculous convenience of Office Coffee. (FYI this approximates $388 = 48.5 work weeks * 5 days/week * $1.60/day per year I could save and waste somewhere else).
We leave our frequently flyer cards in a little card organizer near the register. When I went to retrieve my card to redeem my free Extra Bold Sumatra blend coffee, I felt the panic one experiences when you have to go to the bathroom but there is nary one in sight. I could not find my card! How could this happen? Once again, the universe succeeded in screwing me. Thankfully, the woman that I see everyday knows that I come there everyday and she let my get my coffee anyway. But I fear that deep down inside, she suspects that I pulled a fast one on her.
