I have 2 cans of Monster on my desk.
"Oooh, you drink a lot of that stuff, it can't be good for you"
Yeah? What do you think gets me through the day, God's love? BOG OFF.
 
Sorry, I'm in agreement though- Monster and the suchlike are a fucking disgrace.

I quite enjoyed a ginger tea when I had chemically induced "morning sickness" but folk at my work complained about the whiff. Whilst sitting with their stinky Starbucks.

Yeah but I HATE coffee. Even the smell of a strong coffee makes me feel sick.

I know I've mentioned this in before and I am NOT trying to be preachy here, honest, but I just don't understand the desperate need for caffeine.

I have a caffeine intolerance, granted, but I've never liked coffee, hardly ever touched tea...there has to be something wrong with your diet if you're not getting the energy you need from it. It's weird.

Funnily I like the smell of coffee, but not the taste

In some ways this is true, but over the years, it's begun to annoy me. Someone who sits right outside my office has REALLY strong espressos and the smell makes me feel ill nowadays...
 
Ths smell of energy drinks is far more offensive than coffee, surely? What IS it that smells, the taurine?
 
Drinks like Coke and most other fizzy drinks hardly smell (if at all), but energy drinks have a chemical reek that could strip the skirting boards.
 
When we moved to our new office, we were given a coffee machine in the kitchen and we used the amount of coffee they budgeted for for the year in THREE DAYS.
 
Just to prove I'm not claiming any dietary high ground, I discovered the joy of Vimto candy floss the other day.

Red Bull was a very weird smell. I don't like it at all; I didn't even like it that much with a vodka in it back in the day...
 
No I don't want YOU to CRITIQUE and ADORN WITH RED PEN this piece for the newsletter I've written because YOU haven't got a CLUE and the piece you wrote for the last one was fucking DIRE, not that anyone needed to CHECK that of course. What I WANT is for you to GET OFF MY BACK :)
 
Red Bull ACTUALLY spells like VOMIT. I can't BELIEVE people happily chug it down.
 
I'm also in a fucking FOUL mood as an employee I recruited in January, who asked for more money than other, more experienced people in the department were on, but looked good and I was DESPERATE, so I employed and upped the others' salaries accordingly to be fair has just decided to leave as she's found another job and, according to my recruitment consultant friend, she's been actively applying for things since the day she took on my job in an ENTIRELY different industry and for a different job role.

WHY DO PEOPLE FUCKING BOTHER?
 
Isn't the whole caffeine/energy thing mostly bullshit as well? Once you've got a bit of a tolerance to it you get fuck all 'energy' wise, it just staves of tiredness or something. I genuinely like it, I like the taste, smell and it goes really well with weed.
 
Anyway if you're looking for focus and alertness may I suggest MODAFINIL from big ron's cornucopia of chemicals. Less unpredictable than speed and better at keeping you awake than a double maccafrapachino
 
We had the PUBLISHERS in yesterday and all their ADVICE turned out to be EXACTLY the things I've been DRONING ON ABOUT FOR AGES but everyone has been CHOOSING to IGNORE because HEAVEN FORFEND they should have to VENTURE OUTSIDE THEIR COMFORT BUBBLES. So I got to say I'VE BEEN FUCKING TELLING YOU THAT FOR YEARS which was REALLY QUITE PLEASING.
 
Modafinil was the drug of CHOICE for athletes about 10-15 years ago. Loads of people were caught taking it. The World 100m champion Kelli White, before she was busted with ALL SORTS OF SHIT GOING ON, tried to say she took it as she was a diagnosed NARCOLEPTIC :D

ON YOUR MARKS!
GET SET!
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ..............
 
@octophone do you exercise? I find that produces endorphins in my body that far surpass that of any caffeinated beverages.
 
Aside from a coke zero a week, no caffeine touches my lips and it doesn't need to either.

I've now been awake for 24 hours because I don't sleep on planes (plus almost 8 hours straight of violent turbulence) yay etc.
 
I don't sleep on planes. I really do wish I could, it would save a LOT of problems.
 
I physically can't but I don't want to anyway. I've paid for all this entertainment and booze, best not let it go to waste.
 
My mother has been on modafinil since her GP stopped the dexamphetamine she was on for a couple of decades.

When I was younger and used to go out all weekend I did used to sneak the odd dexamphetamine. Never tried the modafinil.
 
I've been summoned to a PIZZA LUNCH with Mr Shirl today

Don't know what THAT's about
