23He would walk down the hallway to the breakroom, which had a white [refrigerator][], a black microwave on a brown plyboard cart stocked with powdered creamer, sugar, and swizzle sticks, a dark red coffee maker, and yellow paint on the wall.

28He didn't drink coffee but he would think about starting.

40"Once it was stolen out of the fridge and returned empty before I had a chance to eat my lunch" she said.
41"So you make sure it won't happen again."
42"No I'm waiting for the day that it does."
