The System 509: The Sweet Spot

July 6th, 2011

If you like this, we have coffee shirts! They’re cool:

How many cups of coffee does it take to get to your sweet spot? For that matter, how many cups of sugar does it take to get to the moon?

Then there's the time when your body grows immune to caffeine, leaving no warm, fuzzy buffer between you and helpful suggestions like "…that Helveti-whatsit is all very well, but how about something friendlier, like Comic Sans? And my niece likes one called Papyrus, let's use that one too."

I just found The System, and needless to say, I've spent the last two days trawling through the archive. Great stuff! Tempted to include it on the invoice as "Professional Development" time.

  "Professional Development" is indeed a great thing to include.

Personally, I believe if you don't hit that "sweet" spot (to borrow a phrase from my"put it where it's at" son): Coffee goes in, sarcasm comes out and pee, lots and lots of pee. (I apologize Ross, I haven't unpacked my shirt unpacked yet, but rest assured, I do have it w/me–I take it on every trip!.)

If you don't hit that "sweet" spot, the caffeine will not circulate enough and hence the production of great quantities of pee (or to use the polite phrase, urine).

Now, to me, caffeine won't hit it's productive level until it has been dosed w/a significant amount of Truvia. (The number of packets is wholly dependent on the amount of coffee in the cup.)

btw, the answer to everything is 42.

  Indeed, the answer is 42. 🙂
  
  As I don't drink coffee though, I couldn't tell you. However, since I'm British, I am not complete unless I have a lovely cup of Yorkshire Tea in my hands.
  
  It is the best (especially after a night out!)

    Haven't tried that type, will have to now!

      Tevana always has free samples and all are delicious. Now, if they made any packaged in tea bags as opposed to having to brew it, I'd be a frequent purchaser–might not even need to add Truvia!

Everybody knows the answer. Now if only someone could come up with the question…

  If 42 is the answer to everything, then it doesn't matter what the question is.
