Venti Vent

My Venti Vent day. Knowing this week is sure to be a tough one, I decided to treat myself to a venti coffee at Starbucks! Is delicious and really started my day off great. I am the first into work. I turn on the lights, make some coffee, unlock doors. I start immediately on the duties I know need to be done ASAP. Make packets for new hire orientation, set up our new computer in the conference room, make employee files, stock supplies. I am rushing around the office in a good mood and good pace when my phone rings at my desk. Knowing the ring tone I Know it is someone with in the office, so I ignore it. I know if someone one really wanted to talk to me they can come find me. I continue with work. Again the ring. I ignore it. And again. And again. I run to my desk and pick it up on the last time....

"hey Kim, is there coffee ready?"

NOW let me give you some background...this happens almost EVERYday. The same person either goes, "hey, you gonna make coffee this morning?" OR "Hey, Kim did you make coffee yet?"

So the devil on my shoulder explodes...You called me four times over and over again to ask if there was Coffee? When you could have gotten off your butt and walked to the lobby yourself, is that right? You made me stop what I was doing run to my phone to listen to your question...did you make coffee? REALLY?

Of course I didn't say any of this. And I could just be over reacting because this drives me nuts.
"Make coffee every morning for the whole office" is not in my job description.

"Yes, I made coffee."
"Oh okay, thank you!" *click*

Because I would rather not lose my job. I am venting here. And because I am trying to get it out so I can continue with the rest of my day as normal.

Does anyone have those employees that just one sentence from they can send you over the edge?
