slipjig3Dear Employers:
First of all, let me express my continued gratitude for the daily amenities you provide; the exceptional free coffee alone has gotten me through many a challenging morning. I am also thankful for the hot water dispenser in the break room, which comes in handy on days like today when I bring instant oatmeal for lunch, and for the heavy duty cups suitable for preparation of same. I must take exception, however, with the construction of the aforementioned dispenser. I understand that you did not design or construct the device, but I feel it appropriate to draw your attention to the fact that the button for dispensing hot water is above and to the front of the hot water nozzle itself. This would seem to imply that the two are aligned with each other, thus aiding one in proper cup placement for use, especially when said nozzle is not visible from a standing position. As I discovered today, unfortunately, the nozzle is in fact a few inches to the left of center of the button placement, which, if you are right-handed and using your dominant hand to operate the tricky-to-push button, positions the hot water flow directly over the hand holding the cup.
To return to my earlier gratitutde for employee amenities, I do want to thank you for your excellent and well-stocked first aid kits, complete with ibuprofen and lidocaine gel. Keep up the good work.
Yours,
Ol' Three-Fingered Bill Adam
