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

Job sorted for the day

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.

I have a secretary who brings me my tea and coffee


One of the few benefits of being a permie

I have a permie to bring mine.

Go to charity shopy, buy set of crutches, use at work, job done

Used tis before and got moved to a much nicer desk on the ground floor as well as getting my tea's made for 6 months!

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.

Feeling a bit parched....wurzel.

Take a flask.

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. Think like a contractor. Spend a few £1000 on a decent coffee machine for your desk.

Well said that man. The one we shared a decade ago cost 400 quid to repair and we didn't even flinch at the cost, because it produced excellent coffee at a fraction of the price of the vending machines.

Bring one of the servants to work with you.

Sorted.

wurzel!

Make the coffee you bone idle git

[minestrone]

Buy a £20 kettle to use it in your office.

Sorted.

They don't allow them in the big places, have an elf and safety bloke at your desk in 30 seconds.

Yes, I am the same, round of 12 in my latest gig so I don't bother drinking tea anymore.

Used to work in a place where you rolled a dice to see who's turn it was and at the end of the month the person who had made the least had to buy everyone lunch at the local cheapo chinese.
