    I already thought about that!! :laugh: :facepalm: :oops:
    But, then what to do with the grounds. I only have two more cups at work, then I quit, so I can just make extra here...but THAT'S where the second FP would come in handy. :lol:
    It would've been nice when my family was here. They don't want coffee out of an auto drip maker. :lol:
    They're NOT fancy, nose held high people (at all), but don't get between them and their "good" coffee.:laugh:
    I never knew the difference, now I kind of wish I didn't know the difference. :lol:
    It's all what you get used to, just my opinion.

    Sounds to me like you have justification for a bigger FP,just don't tell your DH I said that one for work/family days and the old one for days off ;)

    You think they'll be able to tell???

    The beans smell soooooooooo good....it's crazy. :facepalm:
    When they smell that delicious coffee, they won't care if it's "decaf" :lol: They will want to try it, all of them and before you know it, there won't be any more coffee in that thermos of yours. You'll have to find a keg sized thermos. :D

    OMG! What a day! Our main problem child client caused me to have to deal with them all freaking day to get their payroll complete...and I didn't get done until 6:15 tonight when I finally had to go meet them to deliver it and pick up the money for it...the really sad thing is that this is a supposedly popular high end restaurant and they can not get their stuff together...they owe money everywhere, haven't paid their sales taxes to the state forever and they have to pay us with a cashier's check before we'll give them payroll because they've bounced too many checks to us...today they actually had to go sell a tractor to get the funds to pay us! :shock:

    And they had the nerve to try and blame us and say it wasn't fair for their employees not to get paid because we wouldn't release payroll...that was when my boss finally had it and told them to get over it, that it was entirely their fault because they don't manage their money and take all kinds of vacations instead of making sure they have the funds to cover payroll...this is why I can't stand this client...and I would never ever eat in their restaurant because I'm afraid they'd probably spit in my food. :facepalm:

    Then when I finally get home, I find my replacement credit card (was called last week by the issuing bank and told they saw a fraudulent charge on my account and when I confirmed it wasn't me, they immediately closed the account and sent me a new card). Well I wasn't able to get into the account until the new card came and when I did, I found another charge that they hadn't even asked about...and this one was for over $1500! :shock::mad:...So I had to call them and get that one off my account too! UGH!!!!!

    I am so over today! Time to have a big drink, try to relax and forget everything!

    In IL., you miss your payroll tax (state witholding), they'll come put a padlock on your doors.
    With a felony notice if it's removed.

    You're making ME want coffee now. :lol:
    I know, I want some too. :lol: I'm going to go get the bag and smell it. :lol:

    :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: Or talk the boss into buying the good stuff :)
    Oh please...that will never happen. :lol::lol::lol:
    He get wound that we buy creamer and sugar, he drinks his black. :facepalm:

    Bwahahaha. You just gave me an idea, get yourself a coffee scented candle ;) That way, you can blame the delicious coffee smell on the candle.

    Yeah, I've already got my drink and on my way to relaxing.

    MS will put a lock on the doors too, but not until they are over 6 months behind...which they are, but they just started making payments on it...they still owe over 30K though...they've already had to sell their house in FL and their boat in the past couple of weeks...I don't see the restaurant lasting much longer to be honest because it's all starting to come to a head for them...and wouldn't bother me one bit if we lost them as a client. ;)

    Yes exactly! I told the boss this evening she needs to install a margarita machine in the office. :p:lol:

    Good night and sweet dreams Sara. :wub:
