Coffee and Audits

Nothing beats showing a document to an auditor (that was produced by a preceeding employee) which is covered entirely with coffee stains. Never mind that it's not your work, now or then. You get the joy of shrugging your shoulders and pointing to the myriad splatter stains of coffee down the wall behind your newly inherited desk (to replace aforementioned co-worker).

Maybe next time I might just throw the entire coffee pot at the auditor and save us all the embarrassment. At least then we could explain how the coffee stains got there. Plus it makes a better story for them to put into their reports.
