Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for April 20, 2021

I’m hip!

Not for me, though I drank a lot of Earl Grey for years. One friend said it was so strong I might as well chew the teabag.

I took it as a dare.

The next time he looked at me, I had the string and tag hanging from my mouth. Yes, I’m evil. And RN stands for Really Nuts.

The coffee machine is not a co-worker. It’s a paramour.

Ged has a slightly different take. He says your entire work day is an even split between the coffee machine, the water cooler, the donut vending machine, and the lady’s restroom.

Mine is the one that works from home while I deal with the office.

That machine does more work, benefiting more of your coworkers, than you could even if you called in sick.

And it’s hot too, Aunty!

i would rather have the coffee machine as a co-worker than an actual HUMAN as a co-worker…cuz there are days that the human co-worker is a pain in my ass…

All the better to keep you awake on the job.
