I don’t even drink coffee, but I’m thinking there will be riots in cubeland shortly:

Some changes to coffee and tea service in Refreshment Centers
Do you enjoy a fresh cup of coffee or tea from your Refreshment Center? If so, you will soon see changes to the selection and service that will help reduce waste and administrative expense by nearly $40,000 each year, while promoting environmentally-friendly behavior at the same time. Facilities will be changing the brand of coffee served to a lower-cost high-quality coffee [ed: we had Caribou Coffee] and will no longer offer the flavored coffee of the month or Bigelow specialty teas, with the exception of the green tea selection. Coffee will still be fresh ground, and coffee and tea will continue to be free for employees and guests.

Did you know that in 2009 we used approximately 330,000 disposable cups? That’s nearly 6,300 cups each week! To support our “reduce, recycle, reuse” efforts, disposable plastic and foam cups will no longer be provided as of Jan. 15, 2010, or sooner if we run out. Please use a reusable coffee cup or water bottle for your beverages. Disposable cups will still be offered in the Hospitality Center and Conference Center for guest.

Thank you for your support of this important waste-reduction strategy to support the financial strength of our business and our ability to provide superior service.

Quite the big day for the Vikings yesterday. 487 total yards on offense. Only 181 yards given up on defense.

These totals weren’t surprising. The Vikings played a New York Giants team that was out of the playoff picture and couldn’t even be bothered to show up in their last game at Giants Stadium ever. In a game that mattered against Carolina the Giants gave up 41 points. In a game that didn’t matter the Giants gave up 44 points, and it could have been worse.

14-35
7-47
34-21

Those are the final scores of the last 6 games of the 2008 season for the Arizona Cardinals. I bring this up to illustrate that all hope isn’t lost for the 2009 Vikings. Although I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that I already have one foot off of the bandwagon.
