It's so nice to be back at Microsoft working. I think they replaced the Koolaid machines with cool new Starbucks machines yesterday. So, no longer can we say "we're drinking the Koolaid" when talking about defending the company's position. OK, OK, I know we never had Koolaid machines, but seeing the Starbucks machines getting installed yesterday did bring a lot of smiles to the workers in building 18 yesterday.

Me? I'm trying to stay off the stuff, but I succumbed yesterday to bad habits. These machines automatically make coffee from real beans that are loaded in the top. Pretty good stuff. It's amazing how seemingly little things can lift morale. Thank you to whoever got this done!
