Thus guy is having a 12-coffee day, how is your day going?
Regardless of whether or not they’re from the same day and what caffeine does: that’s so much waste! If you drink at the same place, get a fucking reusable cup! Cutting down on this nonsense would do so much more than damn paper straws. It’s not even hard. Drinking out of a nice cup is more enjoyable too. I really hate when I forgot my thermos or a store refuses to fill it
There are 2 reusable McDonald’s cups right there
Do you think its these? McDonald’s and Loop join forces on reusable coffee cup pilot
Interesting concept, i hope its gone well.
I start having headaches, and shaking after 4.
When you hit that wall you just power through and get your second wind.
It’s because you’ve started vibrating, but you’re not yet at healthy idle revs, like a Datsun 120Y just started on a cold morning. Another 2 coffees and you’ll be purring just right. 6 more and would actually have conscious control over the vibrational energy of the electrons in your body, and you’ll be able to phase right through solid objects, like plate glass, if you run fast enough.
Damn, maybe consider a reusable cup?
Or caffeine pills
Do you work for Cloudflare by chance?
There was a dangerous point in my bartending career…
I worked at a fancy restaurant, and they bought a super fancy (like $35k) automatic espresso machine, that ground the beans to order and everything, with a touch screen.
I accidentally discovered that, if I got a little grease on my finger before telling it to make me a double shot, after it poured one, it would think my finger was still on the button, and immediately start pouring another.
So I would make a pint of espresso each evening for espresso martini, and then a quart for myself.
Wait, how’s that different from just making yourself 2 double shots?
A quart would be 16 2oz double shots.
Oh, shit, yeah, that’s different. But I meant, how does the machine thinking you were still pressing it make a difference?
Peobably due to the grease and the capacitive touchscreen.
No, I get that. I’m asking why was it needed for the machine to serve two espressos “by mistake”. Why not just grab yourself/themselves another one?
As I understood it would make not just 2 double shots but several before you wipe off the grease, possibly making OP go “hmmmm, yes, 16 double shots, I’ll drink it now” and then developing a liking for this activity
Pro tip: if that’s also your reaction every time you see a coworker looking tired, saying so might not be a boon to your continued employment 🤔
Equating “looking tired” with “has had 12 coffees and a soda that also has caffeine in it” is wild.
I meant that saying “just do cocaine” to every tired looking coworker is probably inadvisable.
Depends on the industry.
Restaurant worker: “I can’t until I see my guy after work, coffee will have to do for now.”
Depends on the industry.
You’re absolutely right, I didn’t consider that.
Certain parts of the music industry, and politics too.
Not just music and politics, it’s big into blue collar now too. Carpentry and building (non-union stuff like mansions), I know a lot of groomers (people who groom ski trails) on coke. Really any job that benefits from you working long hours. Sometimes it’s worth it for the overtime, or if you own the business then finishing the contract fast may have a bonus.
Sure, but nobody said to do that, so the comment is a bit irrelevant, innit?
It was a hypothetical thought up for laughs 🤷🏻
Brain: It is what it is.
Heart: But not for long.@xylogx I love your keyboard. I have the same. For 18 years now. If i die i want to be buried with it. Like an ancient warrior. And if your employer allows: Get one of these tiny espresso machines, the take up less space than the cups 😜
After his 13th cup he will get a meeting invite from his manager and HR to share some news with him. Prioritize your health and your family folks. No one gives a shit how hard you worked, you are just another worker bee making some filthy rich fucks richer
We get paid overtime 🤷♂️
In 20 years the only people who will remember you worked late will be your kids.
Your job posting will be up before your obituary.I like that the amount of pleasure he provided them with dropped sharply after his death. The opposite would have been troubling…
That’s nice. My HR recommends improving health by doing yoga at home and making a better personal spending plan.
Not a raise though. Just figure out how to spend less.
Work hard enough to not get fired
but not so hard that it affects your health or your life
That’s fine as long as your job is paying you enough to survive/thrive. Not easy to do if you’re hourly with low wage and allowed overtime or if you’re dependent on a promotion.
At 14 cups, he starts phasing out of our reality at the quantum level
He’s about to enter Hyper-Hyper-Time
Just know the recommend intake of caffeine is sub 400mg a day.
Weak shit
I take up to 2 grams a day. I could easily take a nap for hours if all I had was 400mg of caffeine.
I used to be the same way, especially when working late shift at work.
Obviously its your choice, but backing down my tolerance so 200mg has an affect has greatly improved my energy levels, sleep, and some GI issues. I’d recommend you do the same if given the opportunity.
I have tripled that on a drive home from my corner Starbucks before. Fun fact: the servers might be “legally required” to warn you of your poor health choices before they hand you your drink.
that’s like 6 peepee trips minimum
It’s not the peepee that gets you, it’s the loosey-deucey that follows.
Heart problems incoming
You sure they’re all from the same day?
The fact that some of the cups are different makes me think that is unlikely.
And a regular Coke to take the edge off, I guess?
The regular Coke is for a bit of sugar for nutrition
The irregular coke is to take the edge off
