The irony, it burns.

So yesterday, I released some soda back into the wild and stopped by the breakroom to pick up a new can. The circle of life and all that. The office manager was in there with a fuckton (metric, not imperial... I checked) of boxes full of paper cups. Naturally, I commented on this unusual circumstance. The office manager then told me, while crushing several large boxes worth of unused styrofoam cups into the trash can, that the company had gone green, and switched from styrofoam cups to paper ones.

How very environmentally conscious of us.

Gee, thanks.
