“... so I don't know if I pulled it or pinched it. And I was thinking, ‘I hope I don’t have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night.’ But anyway. That was. Not an issue ... Are we out of two-percent?”
You should start SELLING that coffee, at least then you'd be making money to be pestered with inane small talk. If that works out well for you, consider moving the water cooler into your office as well. Example: Water - $1.25, Cup - 5 cents, Ice - 10 cents, Lemon - 25 cents (yes lemon, you're up-scale damnit!) The Math: If the company is already paying for the water, cups and ice, and you just take a full cup of sliced lemons from the sweet tea refill station at the Chick-Fil-A each morning on the way in, I'm figuring a $1.75 profit per serving. We're talking early retirement baby.
Here's a little something I learned from playing Scrabble with my husband who wins every game we play together: sometimes you have to go with the very dull "quit" in the triple word score even though you can plainly see a way to get anthropomorphic along the side. The latter will be momentarily impressive but all anyone will remember is that you lost the game. In short - Steve is right.

So. They put you in the kitchenette and told you it was an office.

Some things are more valuable than money, Steve. Gonna make a sign:
Coffee - fresh - free
Empathy - fresh - out
That picture is haunting my dreams.
