Coffee and Destiny

The IT guy in my lab makes coffee every morning in his office and sells it for a quarter a cup. Whenever I pay up, I end up overfilling my cup until it almost spills. The walk back to my office is long and riddled with hairpin turns.

Today I almost had to make the decision that no intern should ever have to make. As he hurriedly turned the corner, I realized the inevitable and asked: will I spill coffee on my boss? or will I spill it on his laptop? Luckily neither had to happen.

In retrospect, I think I would have destroyed his computer. If it splashed on him he would easily become an evil scientist, as most villains on Action/Adventure movies are scientists that have severe skin problems.

He may hate me for destroying his work, but the world will thank me later.
