Coffee machine broke at work and now I'm considering leaving

May 11 min read

Just kidding but seriously I've been so tired that when the Keurig went down I almost lost it. Between the baby waking up at night and work being absolutely bonkers with the quarter end stuff, I'm running on fumes. Anyone else hitting that wall where you just can't keep all the plates spinning? I love my job but some days I feel like I'm failing at both work and home. Do I need therapy or just more sleep?

I laughed but also felt bad for you. Between managing bedtime routines solo and then losing your office coffee lifeline? That's rough. Time to invest in a personal French press situation at your desk.

Working dad life without coffee is just not sustainable. That Keurig isn't just a machine, it's survival equipment. Did you at least get it fixed or are you stuck dealing with the office coffee situation?

Okay but real talk - how are you managing the tiredness with work AND a new schedule? That coffee machine breaking was probably a sign you need to take a day. You can't pour from an empty cup.

That tired feeling is real. I found that even just getting outside for five minutes between work stress and home chaos helps reset the brain a little. Hoping your machine gets fixed soon.

Man, I felt that in my soul. When my Keurig died last year I genuinely thought about whether I could just live at the office. Three kids and broken sleep is no joke, hang in there brother.

I felt this in my soul. When our coffee machine died last month I genuinely considered it grounds for quitting. Between the kids and work I'm running on fumes. How many cups a day are we talking?

I remember when I was that tired I couldn't even remember if I'd had coffee yet. Get yourself to a good coffee shop or invest in a home machine. This is not a luxury, this is essential infrastructure.

I felt this in my soul. When our office coffee situation went down for a day last month I seriously contemplated just not showing up. The Keurig is basically life support at this point.
