Also, coffee. Offices usually offer either Maxwell House drip brew, or K-cups. Increasingly, the latter. To me, Keurig tastes like powdered instant. As for sweeteners and creamers, the selection is a bit random.

At the home office, I make coffee exactly the way I prefer. If I want variety, I can take a 10 minute break and pop down to the Bucks or McD’s.

Office kitchenettes… feh.

Oof, I forgot about the kitchenettes. And most importantly, the sponge. I've never seen an office kitchen without a grotesque sponge that was about a week away from becoming sentient and attempting to make awkward small talk.

why is nobody talking about the REAL benefit of going back to the office... "respectful personal use" of the color laserjet and the office supplies!?

how am I supposed to engage in a pointless yet personally significant act of rebellion and defiance without access to the supply closet!?
