    Work out how long it takes to make these coffee's, divide it out against your daily rate and think about how much money you are making for every step while you are carrying out you coffee making duties.

    The thought of the dollars mounting up while I pass the time stirring 12 cups of coffee make it well worthwhile.

    Thats 5 quid for getting to kitchen, another 3 to get cups out, at least 10 for walking very slowly and carefully back..

    Sorted....

          no, one of the guys in my office did it and I didn't have a problem with it, it's the guys who expect you to make the teas all the time who I had in my office.

                  I like to get up and walk about so I like making tea. I never make tea for anyone else and my favourite time to make tea is when someone has just boiled the kettle but walked away momentarily.

                    15 person round means that you will go at most once per day

                    get in early, wait till 2 or 3 other people are in, then offer to make a round
