Late Late Coffee Break

While I don't get on the morning train at the first stop, I do get on at the second and I am always amazed when the announcement is made that the train will arrive late to its second stop.  That's what happened this morning.  The announcement was made that the train would be arriving 10 to 12 minutes late with no explanation of the problem causing the delay.  That early in the morning I figure the delay is self-induced rather than caused by any technical malfunction.  After all, the train did arrive, it seems to be running smoothly, and all systems are a go.  Thus, I can only deduce that one of the crew was simply stuck in the drive thru at Dunkin' Donuts waiting to pick up coffee for the rest.  I just wish he or she would have grabbed an extra cup for me.
