Getting coffee at work

I drink a good amount of coffee during the working morning. If ever I poor a cup and there's a cup or less left, I will brew another pot. Not a hard task:
One, Empty old grounds.
Two (optional), rinse coffee gounds basket.
Three, place new filter in basket.
Four, tear open new pre-measured(!) coffee bag.
Five, poor bag into basket.
Six, put basket in coffee machine.
And lastly push the button to start the cycle. Seven steps, pretty basic, but it seems most people don't have a clue on how to do it. Damn if you wanted, it would take just three steps! Every time I go back to the coffee machine it has shot of coffee in it which is Burnt and smelly, or enough for a third of a cup just to tease me. So I make yet another pot and some lucky lazy slug gets fresh coffee and leaves the pot empty again.

If it's morning and there is very little coffee left in the pot, MAKE ANOTHER POT! PLEASE. I don't care if there is coffee left in the orange pot, nobody drinks that shit anyway.

I have always been pretty disappointed that none of the Chicago newspapers have a running chess game or any chess in there games sections. The New York Times has had a chess section for a very long time from what I understand. I don't know how good it is yet, but once I read this for a while I can let you know. Here is a link to the NYTimes games section, scroll down to chess. You will have to have a membership to view the articles, which is free of charge. The just track your usage and shit like that, no big deal. Anyway, have at it and good luck. Send me your opinions.
