Somehow, it's a world wide phenomena, if not the boss, it's family... hot coffee always attracts an errand that can wait, still hot coffee turns cold. ;-)
I was making a coffee the other day and the mug slipped from the Nespresso. It smashed on the floor and I had coffee and milk going everywhere. It was only after I had cleaned it up that I thought I should have taken a photo.
so true. although i don't drink coffee. and i don't kid when i say i need the document right away. :-) it just always coincide with someone's hot coffee.
