    I'll have my coffee the way I prefer it, not the way some snotty nosed barista tells me I should have it.

    I like this "Last month, the shop started stocking milk and cream behind the bar for people who ask (it’s still not sitting out in the open and was secretly poured for a few months before that" the spartan policy was obviously having a detrimental affect on the bottom line.

    Hearing and seeing the "insiders" admit it for a change is the sobering part.

I've no doubt that the development of the various social media platforms was largely guided by company Psychologists and the like, manipulating people's behaviour to keep them addicted to their social media sites, thereby reaping mega dollars due to this addiction.

    Recently had a good friend give me this tip, now to find a job that allows naps during the day like Rockford said

    Our staff is collectively pro-naps. A short midday snooze resets tired brains, improves creativity, and keeps crankiness at bay. But how to keep the naps from turning into straight-up sleeping, which makes us feel groggy and out of it? Drink coffee before napping.
