damian 0 Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Every day after lunch I sit at my desk and have a little single espresso coffee and a single Brazil Nut covered in chocolate. I enjoy that 3 minutes immensely and look forward to it ever day. (Background: I have never been a coffee drinker, never ever drank it. Then I gave up trying to stay awake in the afternoons via useless willpower and decided that I should take coffee on as a remedy. I cant stand the muddy water appearance of milky coffee and nor do I enjoy drinking long cups of hot drink anyway - unless it is in the snow and it is hot chocolate. Espresso seemed the perfect solution. I have now become a little addicted to the very strong taste and the slightly oily texture of pure coffee bean. At first I had to wash it down with water. Then I toughened up and started to enjoy the after taste. Recently I discovered the Brazil Nut as accompaniment and am very pleased. I am even managing to only have one nut, never two which would spoil the experience. I have a thrilling life). Link to post Share on other sites
nzlegend 1 Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 I am truly happy for you mate. My small luxury involves laying a cable on company time, there are few things more satisfying than taking your sweet time to do it and know you are getting paid for doing it.

slow 0 Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 I love espresso, too. I'm trying to find my favorite flavour. I didn't like illy. Lavazza and Kimbo are good so far. Link to post Share on other sites

Sleep was a limited experience amd on a quiet day it was all but impossible to stay awake. If it got bad enough I would migrate in mid afternoon to the Cable Laying Cubicle to enjoy my slumber. When we moved to a new office block I was delighted to find that the Cable Laying Cubicles were not only spacious but well appointed with excellent ventilation, a floor to ceiling door for privacy and a large spare roll of toilet paper that I would utilise as a head rest.
