"I can't believe it's instant" instant coffee

 Until very recently I have considered instant coffee a necessary evil. It is the only coffee freely available in the staff room (sniff - a perk of my former office jobs was decent coffee (filter or plunger at the very least) being provided).

My lunch break is frequently too short for me to flee school grounds in search of espresso, so I am forced to drink the instant. Not all bad I suppose, it does save me the few dollars I would otherwise be spending on coffee. One should not look a gift caffeinated beverage in the mouth.

Recently I had Robert Harris freeze-dried coffee recommended to me. I have tried it and was impressed. The columbian coffee actually tasted pretty close to filter coffee standard. An instant coffee that actually tastes like coffee rather than coffee substitute.

Now I just have to convince the powers-that-be to supply some freeze-dried coffee in the staff room...

"Hee-hee-hee-hee!"

What was that?

Oh, that was the high-pitched maniacial laughter of a thousand flying pixie-pigs giggling at the hilarious impausibility of management spending more money on their staff.
