I've been trying to produce less waste and use my own insulated cup for coffee at work, even though they provide paper cups and lids. Sometimes I forget though or I am out on the production floor and don't want to have to walk all the way back to my desk to get my cup.
Recently, though, the cafeteria had gotten a different paper cup than what they've always had, and although it looks similar, it is insanely flimsy. I have spilled coffee on my desk 3 times in the past 2 weeks because I go to grab the cup and it just crumples and the cover flies off... I am eyeing the current paper cup of coffee on my desk right now begging it to not be the 4th spill. It's honestly kinda funny at this point. As soon as my deskmat dried out, BAM more coffee. Luckily it is black with a dark grey pattern, so no stains (yet). I had a blue/yellow deskmat at home at one point and after only a few months it looked nasty.
Other than that, the weeks have really just been flying by. How is it already the 2nd week of October? It is very cold today compared to the weather as of late. Tonight we will likely get our first frost. I plan on going for a hike after work, excited to layer up and have a nice cozy jaunt.
