I have coffee and gingersnaps. I also feel like a rebel when I make a pot of coffee after the sun has gone down.

You should work in an engineering office. Five o'clock on a July afternoon and someone will be making a new pot of coffee.

One suggestion: never go to a meeting with mechanical engineers. It's like the Twilight Zone; you will swear time has stopped. Especially never go to a meeting with mechanical engineers in a high-rise office tower . . . you will be too tempted to jump out the window.

Don't count on it. MP&E (mechanical, plumbing, & electrical) engineers are the only people in the world who actually enjoy going to meetings. And they come in groups. Call a meeting with an MP&E firm and half their office will show up.
"Are we going to have an exciting Powerpoint presentation? I love those." "This should be a short meeting. We should be done in seventy-two hours." "Can we go back and discuss what size pipe to use again? I didn't understand it the first fifty times." "Did you see the latest issue of Sewer Monthly? We were featured on the cover." "Which mechanical system do you want to use . . . too cold, or too hot?" "Do we get free pens for coming?" "Can I get more of that delicious vending machine coffee?" "Hey, look . . . free pocket protectors!"

Oh gosh, those floozies. I should really use the pen in my pocket protector to write a note.
