Thanks, but sadly no . . . . I have more on my plate for the three weeks before New Years than i need (average week around 60-70 hours). Also the ERs are just as busy as ever before. During the summer it was wasp bites, winter - ankle sprains on the ice. Plus the never ending attack of the dizzy/weak/unwell little old lady (the ER version of LOL).
-
merry CHRISTmas anyway and don’t forget to tip your barrista 8-)

Dunno what people normally tip. I heard the average tip in the United States for restaraunt service is 8-12% and for delivery is less then 1%. My personal philosiphy is $5 per hour for restaraunt service -$1 for each time my coffee cup goes dry. (That’s been $20 tips for a cup of coffee before.) And for delivery I try to tip the same as the delivery charge (about $3 or 15%.)
As for tip jars and Starbucks/Caribou Coffee are concerned, I’m not paying them to do their jobs. Next you’ll see tip jars at friggin McDonald’s!
What’s other people’s tips?
-
At Starschumcks? zero.
-
i don’t frequent espresso shops and only go out occasionally (feeding children) but as my wife used to be a waitress i generally tip 15-20%

I live on coffee. But I get the sinking feeling that caffiene effects metabolism and causes your body resistance when trying to loose weight, which might explain why the US Army has a policy against caffiene and outright forbids you to have any during combat training (even prior service.)
So i’m planning on no caffiene next year til I loose 35 pounds.

Your body is actually attuned to a small amount of caffeine. But too much can put stress on many things (heart, adrenals, etc.).

Would 12 cups of coffee in the morning, 1 Venti Mocha on the way to work, 12 cans of diet coke at work and 2 Monsters on the way home from work count as “too much” ?

OMG, Jenn, I think that qualifies you as comatose! :-o

Uhm, isn’t comatose what you are when you are asleep and can’t be woken up? With that load, it’s hard to get to sleep. :) On the plus side, I’m always awake when my kids try to get in trouble!

I don’t know about that Caffeine policy, I have the NSN for caffeinated chewing gum somewhere. I tried to order some when I was in Iraq, but the order is probably getting there now. “Nonessential” take a while to get there.

Ya know, we didnt get to drink cofee in basic. I went from 5 cups every morning to none. Talk about Withdrawal.
-
Hey M36 you got any good war stories ?

@M36:

You don’t get to drink any if you are prior service in basic either…which is really flubbed up. After that, I really didn’t drink any while I was in uniform, figured I already had the habbit kicked, why get back into it.
Then I got injured and could only fight the narcotics drowsyness with caffiene.
-
Sadly no Imperious Leader, I have no war stories worth mentioning. :-(
-
:x
-
I could get some from the rest of my platoon if you want. Most of them have seen some action.
-
Then what did you do?
garrison duty?
Id like some story of a patrol that went into combat or took out a few targets.something
