Task of the Day: Coffee

I was given the exciting task of getting coffee for the performers and production team for their rehearsal break. The whole day I questioned the other General Intern, Jane, about how to get this important coffee.

When should I get the coffee? Where should I get the coffee? How many people usually get coffee? Do they use their own money or does the company pay for it? How do I carry the coffee? I only have two hands and what if ten people order coffee? What time should I bring the coffee? How long will it take for the coffee people to make the coffee so that I will be on time for the coffee break?

Jane had no idea as she also hadn't done a coffee order. Dam you Jane and your unknowledgeable coffee ways!

All day I planned my coffee quest. I would go down stairs just before the rehearsals started. I would ask if anyone wanted coffee and write down their order. THEN, I would go outside and get the coffee. Finally I would bring the coffee BACK and be the best coffee deliverer EVER!

It was time. I grabbed my pen and note pad. Heart pounding, I slowly went down the stairs. I opened the door and entered the rehearsal space. Everyone was sitting around a table chatting amongst themselves. People started to look up at me with puzzled faces thinking, “Who the hell is she?”

“Does anyone want a coffee?” I squeakily asked.

“No I think wear fine. Ask Ari. Ari do you want any coffee?”  

“Nope. I’m fine.” Said Ari Fliakos.

OMG! It’s Ari Fliakos, one of the main Wooster Group actors.” I thought, almost fainting.

“Yeah, I don’t think we will need any coffee because we are doing such a short rehearsal on Mondays and we don’t really take a break.”Said Emily, the Production Manager.

“Ok, I’m Georgina by the way.” I blurted and then quickly exited the room.

........Coffee mission completed.......
