Not a bad gig to get. The fellow that we used to joking call coffee boy is now my boss. There is something to be said for being the "office junior" who actually gets stuff done, no matter how small.

Milk Oolong with my yogurt.

Black Millicano coffee in my cup, as I contemplate my workload. Do you ever get to the point where you have so many choices of what to do next that you get paralysed, and do nothing instead?

amward · 03-19-2013, 07:55 AM

More water. I HATE humid weather.

For those that are interested, I found a youtube clip of some of our PRACTICES. (so you will see stuff like mic wires/etc that will be handle in live product better)

Yup. That was my dissertation. I ended up calling it my little book report and thinking about individual chapters and not the whole thing. It was easier to work on chapter X then it was to work on my dissertation.

More Milk Oolong while munching on an apple.

Black coffee.

pdurrant · 03-19-2013, 09:13 AM

Coke #3 as I finish off the 'not-quite-late' paperwork, and more on to some more 'whoops, this is late' paperwork. (I needed to do the not-quite-late before I could sensibly do the whoops paperwork.)

Hmmm ... can Zeros be numbered?

First mug of tea. For some reason known only to the gods of aging spines, my back started to get stiff and sore on Sunday and is dramatically painful today. I got a few hours of sleep in bed, but I'll be napping-while-sitting today. And moving slowly to get my tea!

Yep! And keep in mind... that nap is simply NOT going to take itself?

I'm going to have a glass of rum. I really would prefer some Bombay Sapphire, but I finally finished the bottle. It's amazing how long a bottle can last me. With the little bits and drips that I drink, and spreading them over a bottle of gin, tequila, and rum, I probably don't buy more than 3-4 bottles of alcohol a year. I don't gamble. I don't smoke cigarettes. Heck! I need a good vice!

Tea is a vice

Water right now. I am trying to be better about drinking water to try and help clear the gunk that never seems to fully clear from my throat.

I'll have some tea with lunch.

Nothing in my cup just now.

ProfCrash · 03-19-2013, 11:42 AM

We bag our own tea, we buy water dispensers to make sure the water is at the right temperature. We buy nice mugs and tea pots. Most of us would be pretty unhappy if our tea went away. Heck, there are some folks who might even have physical reaction to the loss of the caffeine.

I would call that a vice.

Working on my second cup of sencha. Nicely made in a purple cast iron tea part with water heated to 175 degrees and steeped for precisly 1 minute.

maianhvk · 03-19-2013, 12:58 PM

Half the water and 7 mins seem to be doing it right.

I'd like to try something else next. Maybe just those convenient tea bags. Chai? Genmaicha? There are a LOT of types... I fancy something sweet and strong. O tea zealots, which ones go with sugar/honey?

Especially near the end of a term, when there are at least 2 deadlines per day. My method: I take a nap. When I wake up I'll be so desperate that I'll actually do something productive

Both of you suggesting a nap? Is there something we should know
