That's hilarious.

Let me guess. We're in a hurry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Drop shipped from Portland? Mine is all hand-delivered from Jamaica. Pikers.

Heh. "Bitter low sixties temperatures..."
All too apt. Definitely an inside job. I'm surprised they didn't get a reference to fixies in there.

Jealous pikers. If I had a convenient Jamaican connection, I would exploit it, believe me. The few times I've had Blue Mountain were revelatory.
Getting my coffee from Portland is silly, but it's where I do cuppings so it kind of follows. Though I've got a roaster coming in down the street (which will increase my love for my neighborhood, I expect. I like my neighborhood a lot, but it has been lacking a coffee shop) so I may drop my subscription.

Mine comes from Hawaii, but I buy it; it`s no longer hand delivered. Sadface. That reminds me, I`m nearly out, must reorder.

I don't know if it's any more appropriate than clusterfuck, but we also used the term 'circle jerk' when I was in the Navy. At least there are no actual swear words in the phrase.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think circle jerk is equally work-inappropriate. But also not at all the same thing! (If that was what you were implying. If not, please disregard.) I mean, a circle jerk is nice for everyone involved, right?

I would be far more comfortable saying clusterfuck than circle jerk at work. I think because in usage it's much further removed from any sexual connotation.
