Office Tea

In most Kuwaiti offices, someone is employed to serve tea and coffee to the employees so that their caffeine level is raised sky high and makes them buzz all day at maximum efficiency. That person is called a farash or Tea boy. A lot of farash's are jealously guarded by their respective departments because they know how to do the coffee just right, or cook the tea to a millisecond precision and add the exact proportions of milk to it. Other farash's that are not so talented, make you hate your morning.

Here is a little movie of our Farash doing his magic:

  1. I know what you mean. But what is the deal with Farash companies rotating the farasheen around! Just when you have someone who already knows how you like your cofee and which mug is yours and when you would want yout next drink they go an change things around. I agree that, as petty as it sounds,having a good farash can really give you a better start for your day.

  4. 1001: I know, as soon as they get the job right, they move them. Its a conspiracy.

    anon: welcome to my little world.

    zaboo6a: full respect to all the Farash's in the world, they are the reason why we work so hard, filling us with caffeine overdose ;-)
