What is it with people and their coffee, anyway? First we have blog wars over iced espresso, and now the news is reporting that police officers are demanding free coffee from various cafes. Some are even brandishing their guns in their quest for the evil bean. In one case the police officer lost his job, in the another, the officer was suspended and ordered to undergo counseling (yeah, like that’ll make a difference).
Maybe they ought to all switch to decaf.
Or something.

“SOMETHING HUGE” would be my choice. I am like the dissenters in the one case, the punishment wasn’t enough. I have said before in this post that the rest of us vicariously look like a bunch of asses because of the actions of a few. So I apologize for all the bad seed out there abusing their authority.
Actually, people who act like that are actually wanting to lose their job, on some level. It’s called self-sabotage and we do it all the time when there’s something we want (like a new job or attention) and we don’t know it (we stuff it or won’t face it) so we sabotage to get it, ie, doing something stupid to get the result we ultimately desire.
