Hi.

First things first this isnt going to be a lecture. Tensions are high enough and Ive barely been here long enough to have the whole history down yet. (Working on it) Besides, you've already herd plenty of it. So this isnt about that.

[ Not overtly, anyway. He's trying to do the "subtlety" thing. He's not taking notes or anything. ]

I'm Doug by the way. Mostly I'm trying to figure everything out still, you know. That sort of thing. I'm a curious and openminded sort of person wich is why I have some questions:

1. Whats your favorite thing about being here?
2. And least favorite thing?
3. If you had to make up 1 rule what would it be?
4. Why's the coffee so bad & Are there vending machines (where)?

Thank you thats all.

Maybe you two can share it. At least if its worth it.

It's coffee. Of course it's worth it. Given the choice, would you rather have crappy coffee, or no coffee at all? It might be hell either way, but at least you can have hell with caffeine.

Crappy coffee definately better then none. Even more of an argument for sharing- plus its even easier if you two know each other. It could be a coffeepot co-ownership.

I can't believe my life has come to getting into a custody battle over my own coffee pot. She doesn't even drink it. Teammate or not there are principles at stake. Give me a minute and I will think of some.

The principle of [ there's a pause while he thinks of some, too ] ownership. Trust. Comradeship? Any of that.
