Bad start to @devonairamb shift walking in to read the handover notes from late crew stating that "something terrible" has happened to the coffee machine... 😱
Regular crew mate is on holiday so on with a female for the next 2 weeks or so.

Absolutely disgusting attitude that doesn't belong in society
