As the lab safety officer (seriously, I am), I should warn you that the
safety shower contains gallons upon gallons of rusty water that has been
sitting there for years. There is also no way to turn it off, so if you
should pull it, everyone will know that it was you who flooded the hallway.
Therefore, be careful with your coffee!

Dear Group,
The coffee machine is operational again, in Cv002.
There are now several new rules:
1. Before having a cup, you must wash *two *dirty cups and hang them up on
the glassware hanging dowels.
2. When it says empty dregs, you can empty them in the sink. Unless the
dregs are high in mercury, in which case Allen Aloise will fine you $20,000.
3. When it says fill water, you should fill it with the laboratory-grade
deionized water from the *white* tap. This will spare me having to descale
the machine.
4. If you have a coffee accident, you may use the eyewash fountain located
adjacent to the coffee machine (the gentle stream also works well for
watering plants, it turns out). If you have a big coffee accident, there is
a conveniently located shower right outside the door. Stand on the yellow
dots and pull the handle.

PS. The results of the Great Coffee Experiment will be announced when I
feel like it.
