No, no, NO!

You don't quit until you have a better job all lined up, unless you
have such an economy that you're guaranteed work.

It's like dating- if you don't have a SO, you're not worth having.

I handed in my resignation at work. Cow-orkers are now pissed off
with me as it makes their jobs harder. Can't say as I care.

Now I need to find a job. By my calculations my last day at work
should be just before CCDE[1], then I have 2 weeks of holidays booked
and paid for. So I'm going to need a job to start on August 15.

Finger crossed and CVs going out in a constant stream.

Wish me luck.

Normally, I wouldn't. I have never before quit a job without having
another to walk straight into. This time, though, I've had to put my
health first. Yes, I suffer from migraines - but this is getting
ridiculous. Up until 6 months ago I got maybe one a month, and the
odd headache. I'm currently at the stage of a continual headache (and
I mean _all_ the time) and at least two migraines a week. Nothing
else in my life has changed, just this damned job.

We talked it over, and even though money will be tighter if I don't
get a job straight away, we _can_ manage well enough for a while.

> It's like dating- if you don't have a SO, you're not worth having.

*boggle* That's like the attitude a friend of mine used to have - I
could never understand it. But then I'm a jealous and possessive
bitch, and can't stand even _thinking_ about his exes.

> (Not my perspective, but most girls I've gone after have held it.)

OK.. so it's TTSNBN however...

With dating it's more a byproduct I think.

Men who are "taken" seem to be calmer and happier. Ones who aren't
come across as desperate far too often :)

6 cups or pots? 6 pots would be overkill, sort of. I find that I need 1.5
to 2 pots of coffee or 1 pot of strong Assam tea to get moving in the
morning. Another 2 or 3 as maintence over the rest of the day...

You mean 250, yes? The "standard" definition of "cup" is 250mL
(== cc), but standard coffee cups are usually somewhat larger. To put
what 50cc is into context, if you consume 6 cups at 50cc, you've consumed
somewhat less than a can of Coke (355mL)'s volume of coffee. Hmm. Any
coffee where only 300 mL keeps you going the whole day has gotta be a
kicker, and I've gotta get me some.

Except on coffee pots. My "12-cup" coffee put holds 72 (us) fl oz., which 9
(us) fl cups. I drink about 1.5 L coffe/day these days, which is a marked
decline from my high of at least 3 quarts my junior year in college.

8 Fluid ounces. USofFreakingA ounces, for you people from place other
than .us

Unless my mental conversion thing (230ml =~ 1 cup) is _way_ off, that's
about 1/4 of a cup. If you have a _big_ cup, I suspect it's closer to
500cc...

OK, do you mean:
1) Some sort of Video Game [1]
b) A game played on a computer [2]
III) Some game played with chunks of lead and/or Plastic
four) Some game played on an oddly marked map with small counter of some

I plead guilty on counts b, III and four. Not a video player however.

Please don't measure coffee in terms of water content[1], but in terms of
coffee bean content and/or caffeine content.

My 3 cl double espresso[2] may contain as much coffee as your 50 cl jug.
I'm not saying it does, only that it may. Depending on the coffee in
the jug, that is.

If it's got at least 6x the caffeine concentration, yes.

Since you asked... (I was leaving the details to $SEARCH_ENGINE_OF_CHOICE)

<plug degree="Blatant" type="Recovery">

(b), to be exact. But with lineage traced back through both (III) and
(four).

See, someone finally said 'Hey, why don't we take all the detail and
research and background of all those tabletop/computer hex-based wargames
out there, throw the thing into a 3D engine, where suddenly we can do
all sorts of computationally intensive things like precise LOS,
tank penetration rules and so forth.'

I agree with your "real time" comment - RTS's are mouse-dexterity
micromanagement contests. No, this puppy is still orders-phase/
action-phase turn-based, but the action-phase is 60 seconds of
"real" time (more like VCR playback time). Graphical quality is
more than enough for some astounding visuals.

Like I refered to above.. enter 'Combat Mission' into whatever search
engine floats your boat.

Oddly enough, I don't actually drink coffee (nor most kinds of
tea, although I do have a box of green tea on my box, that I really should
use up). I prefer hot chocolate, with lots of whipped cream, and gobs of
vanilla powder and chocolate shavings on top. Mmmm.

About the only thing that could induce me to switch would be some
of the aforementioned ultraconcentrated coffee.

Turkish coffee.

Though the usual rule of thumb is to not drink the sludge on the bottom

You mean 250, yes? The "standard" definition of "cup" is 250mL


(== cc), but standard coffee cups are usually somewhat larger. To put

what 50cc is into context, if you consume 6 cups at 50cc, you've consumed
somewhat less than a can of Coke (355mL)'s volume of coffee. Hmm. Any
coffee where only 300 mL keeps you going the whole day has gotta be a
kicker, and I've gotta get me some.

Except on coffee pots. My "12-cup" coffee put holds 72 (us) fl oz., which 9

Oddly enough, I don't actually drink coffee (nor most kinds of


tea, although I do have a box of green tea on my box, that I really should
use up). I prefer hot chocolate, with lots of whipped cream, and gobs of
vanilla powder and chocolate shavings on top. Mmmm.

About the only thing that could induce me to switch would be some


of the aforementioned ultraconcentrated coffee.

Turkish coffee.

Though the usual rule of thumb is to not drink the sludge on the bottom
[third] of the cup, many consider it to be the best part.

Please don't measure coffee in terms of water content[1], but in terms of
coffee bean content and/or caffeine content.

My 3 cl double espresso[2] may contain as much coffee as your 50 cl jug.
I'm not saying it does, only that it may. Depending on the coffee in
the jug, that is.

OK.. so it's TTSNBN however...

With dating it's more a byproduct I think.

Men who are "taken" seem to be calmer and happier. Ones who aren't

6 cups or pots? 6 pots would be overkill, sort of. I find that I need 1.5
to 2 pots of coffee or 1 pot of strong Assam tea to get moving in the
morning. Another 2 or 3 as maintence over the rest of the day...

8 Fluid ounces. USofFreakingA ounces, for you people from place other
than .us

Unless my mental conversion thing (230ml =~ 1 cup) is _way_ off, that's
about 1/4 of a cup. If you have a _big_ cup, I suspect it's closer to
500cc...

OK, do you mean:

Normally, I wouldn't. I have never before quit a job without having
another to walk straight into. This time, though, I've had to put my
health first. Yes, I suffer from migraines - but this is getting
ridiculous. Up until 6 months ago I got maybe one a month, and the
odd headache. I'm currently at the stage of a continual headache (and
I mean _all_ the time) and at least two migraines a week. Nothing
else in my life has changed, just this damned job.

We talked it over, and even though money will be tighter if I don't


get a job straight away, we _can_ manage well enough for a while.

> It's like dating- if you don't have a SO, you're not worth having.

*boggle* That's like the attitude a friend of mine used to have - I


could never understand it. But then I'm a jealous and possessive
bitch, and can't stand even _thinking_ about his exes.

Congratulations, you just "met" someone who thinks that attitude is a
load of bollocks :)

This fired up my way-back machine. Back when I was growing up, a
couple that my family knew had TWO coffeemakers on timers. One was a small,
two cup percolator that she loaded up with Community Club Dark Roast (think
expresso on steroids .. ). That was for the smell and the aroma. Smelled
wonderful, but nobody could drink it.

The SECOND coffee maker was loaded with Maxwell House (Good to the
last drop!) coffee, which didn't smell anywhere as nice as Community Club,
but at least was drinkable by the people who lived there ...

Not to be picky... wait, no, this *is* to be picky. Sorry about that...
anyway, here at least a can of Coke is 375 mL. Of course things may be

The nit has been picked, and it is different in .ca, at least.
It's 355 mL here because it's conveniently 12 (US Fl) Oz, to 0.12 mL or
so. Means that they can use the same equipment as in the US.

In .us a can of coke is 12 fl oz. Which, at least according to the can,
is 355 ml.

Oddly, the same size[1] can of fruit juice[2] only holds 11.5 fl oz. or
340 ml.


[1] Well, they eyeball to same size.
[2] Welch's if it matters.

I just poured a coffee cup of water into a measuring cup - result 175 ml.
500 ml would be about a (US) pint beer mug.

This is a very common headache trigger. People drink lots of coffee during
the week, then stop on the weekend. Headache is probably the primary
symptom of caffeine withdrawal. It's a different kind of headache though.
Caffeine withdrawal headaches are barely noticeable compared to a migraine
for me.

Every measuring cup and every other reference I've ever seen uses
250 mL. However, taking a look at the conversion tables in my (t)rusty
calculator, 1 cup == 236.6 mL.

A lot of folks here can prove "gentle" status. Your AoA scroll should
say something about that. Of course, it's not to _me_, but to what I
used to call my self on weekends.

I suspect that some folks here might even have paperwork that declares
them to be "Officers and Gentlemen", even though the Army of the United
States doesn't do that any more.

Herald mode:

Alan Bellingham may in fact be Sir Alan Bellingham. Your persona is not
Alan Bellingham, and unless a Crown of the one of kingdoms of the known
world has declared you to be a member of the Order of Chivalry, your
persona may not be called Sir with in the context of the society.

When my liege lord was Prince of Drakenwald he visited Nordmark (Sweden).
There was some talk of the King of Sweden visiting an SCA event. Much
tizzy among the heralds as to order of precedence and other such like.

When I was playing in The Outlands, there was a Judge who played as well.
The crown of the Outlands made him a Court Baron [1][2] just so that "Your
Honor" would be "legal" with in the SCA as well.

[1] No pun was meant, I'm sure. The crown at the time hated puns.

It might have to be him. After about 3 pots of coffee, don't think
most of us would be ignitable.

OTOH - I've managed to cut back to only about 100cc of caffeine a
day. It's not too bad, considering the 14 hours of sleep I get every 24 now

Well, I say we give 'em a Starbucks Roast.[1]

There are four main types of roast for coffee, as one of me mates and I
discussed: Normal, french, dark, and Starbucks.

Put the beans in a roaster until they 'pop': normal

Put the beans in a roaster, let them start to 'pop', then stop when they
stop 'popping': dark

Put the beans in a roaster, let them start to 'pop', leave them in once they
stop, and remove when they start 'popping' again: french roast

Put the beans in a roaster, let them start to 'pop', leave them in once they
stop, and leave them in longer yet so that the 'popping' stops for
the second time: Starbucks, AKA burnt

ObUnrecovery: *sob* Coffee People is almost dead.

Some time ago, Coffee People, sellers of the ultimate beann called Black
Tiger, was bought by Diedrich Coffee. Naturally, this gave me some worry.
But it seemed that they were not going to really touch anyuthing and leave
the shops as they were, which is part of the reason I always went back.[2]

Then, the Bad Thing (tm) happened.

I walk into the sit-down[3] shop I normally visit, and find that their tip
glass[4] is not there anymore, and in it's place is a clean plastic box
thing. I also then note that all the people behind the counter are wearing
the same outfit, with a cutesy name-badge made to look like a cup of coffee.

Damn near vomited over that one.

I order my elixer, and ask what happened to the tip glass? I get the reply
from some corporate-brainwashed female "We are Diedrich, not Coffee People"

I damn near walked out right then and there. Fsckers. If I wanted to
have corporate death mocha, I would have gone to fscking StarDucks. I always
went back to Coffee People[5] becasue the coffee was damned good, unlike
StarDucks, and I liked the atmosphere/attitude I got from the people 'orking
there. They all seemed to have clue. Coffee People was just one of those
Portland things, similar to Saturday Market. And now, it's almost gone, and
I weep for the future generations of bastards, bobs, and other clued humans.

Mental note to self: Call Diedrich using the contact info at
http://www.coffeepeople.com/contact.htm and rant... loudly...


[1] Mis-typed as rot. Still fits.

[2] When I can be given my java by someone that looks even stranger than
myself, I feel comfortable there.

[3] As opposed to the drive-through Motor Mocha shops which have no real

You forgot painful, dear. Short and painful. Very, very painful.
Excruciatingly painful. But fun to watch. For me at any rate.

I know that one. It goes along with the sure knowledge that someone
has timeshifted the office at around 4pm to make it 10am again.

I was never a big Coffee People fan, except for Black Tiger
Shakes in the Summer.

I think I've been in there maybe twice since they became
Diedrich's. That's because we now have Peet's in town. No,
they're not from the Northwest (Berkeley, actually), but damn
they make good coffee.

But if you're on the westside, you're probably still SOL since
they're only Downtown and on NE Broadway.

Same height and diameter, but the fruit juice cans are tapered at the

I actually ran into this once in .vt.us. I was staying off-season at a
ski resort, and found out the hard way (i.e. flushed before I stood
up). I imagine it might be comforting after being on the slopes all
day, but in the summer it's plain annoying.

(And when .brooklyn.cuny.edu installed new water fountains in
Ingersoll Hall, some genius decided to run the feed lines alongside
the steam lines to the chem labs. Result: Warm drinking water.)

Hm, I think perhaps we do. Do you know where we could find any recovery?

An excellent idea. After that we can perform a Princectomy, and a Dukeectomy,
and so on up the line. Though i suppose i could be persuaded about an
-otomy instead. Of course, i'm a traditionalist, so sending for the
headsman would be fine too...

No, her infatuation with young dumb stud didn't last long.

It might have to be him. After about 3 pots of coffee, don't think


most of us would be ignitable.

OTOH - I've managed to cut back to only about 100cc of caffeine a
day. It's not too bad, considering the 14 hours of sleep I get every 24 now
