Vending Machines

If there's one thing we don't need in my office (or in Japan in general) its more beverage vending machines. When I left the office one night this week I was saddened to see that the fake tree in the employee entrance lobby had been replaced by yet another vending machine. I used to sneak under that tree to get past the crowd (of skinny people) waiting for the elevator so I could take the stairs, it will be missed.
