Makethetea.com – It is not my fault

This is all I want to do... I don't want to fight!

I come into the office every day and quietly get on with my online PR work, causing no trouble or no harm to anybody.

I am a quiet person who is very inoffensive yet I have caused a massive rift in the office and it has nearly being going on for three weeks.

You see a few weeks back we joined a website called Makethetea.com, an amazing website which randomly selects someone to make the tea in the office so it is not left down to one person all the time….or so I thought.

The first week went well and in fact I was leading the way making the most brews out of everyone in the office….but now that has all changed.

I haven’t been picked to make one in 2 1/2 weeks and it is causing great tension and frustration in the office.

The first week was funny and everyone was having a laugh and a joke about it. I was loving the fact I hadn’t made one cup of tea and was really rubbing it in to everyone thinking, “It isn’t my fault, it is the websites decision, it will be my turn soon.” How wrong was I?!

The second week has proved to be a living hell. Each time the ‘Brew’ button is pressed I panick and actually say a little prayer that it is me and every time it is not.

I have no idea how this has happened and I have contemplated contacting customer services (which Ayman has kindly done already) to find out why I haven’t brewed up in a while.

Rick, the apprentice in the office, has made the most brews and his name comes up all the time. I feel terrible. I even offered to take his next turn I feel that bad!

Now we are into week three and I still haven’t made one.

I now feel guilty drinking tea (but still say I want one anyway) in the office and may surprise them all soon and randomly offer….or I may not!

They are convinced I have secretly contacted customer services and asked them not to select me to brew up, or I have magically changed the site or worst still I actually own the site. It is bad times.

What I thought was a cool and really fair website has turned out to be the bane of my existence. I think I actually hate it. (but I still like tea!) It is very tough at the moment and I hope the tension in the office cools off soon.

I will keep you posted on my tea making and let you know how I get on.
