Stopped by my old fire station last week and the kitchen felt like a museum piece

I swung by Station 12 after my shift last Tuesday to grab a jacket I left in my locker. The coffee pot looked exactly the same one we had 12 years ago, just a bit more stained. Someone had taped a handwritten note about the microwave timer being broken, same handwriting style we used to do. It made me wonder how much stuff at your job has just stayed the same over the years, what's the oldest thing in your workspace that nobody bothers to replace?

Wait, @wesleybutler, didn't that same microwave break back when we were still getting our boots dirty?

Double check if that coffee pot's actually the original or just the same model they've been buying for years because that's a whole different level of stagnation. I'm guessing the note's been there so long it's basically become part of the station's decor at this point. How many times have people written "broken" on that same microwave before somebody finally just accepted it?
