TheLeon Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 It takes an hour or two for my first cup of coffee of the morning to, uh, activate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to get it from Trader Joe's and then started ordering it direct when TJ's stopped carrying it. Also do some of their other flavors when I order, the pecan one in particular is pretty good. Decided to take a bit of a break though, right now just drinking a gingerbread coffee and TJ's house medium roast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJ has really good single origin coffee at affordable prices, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's pretty whack but I get a lot of good work from him. He used to bike 15 miles each way to work most days (we have showers and lockers) and then first get on these 8 AM calls, he's one of those people. A different time with different people I was the only west coast person on a call and they tried to schedule a meeting for 9 AM eastern. That one I had no problem with writing back that I wasn't going to be making that call at 6 AM Pacific (I do think it was a genuine oversight since I was the only west coast person, since they moved it once I pointed that out).

Where did you see the New Mexico Pinon? I've never seen it in a store since TJ's stopped carrying it. If you want to order I think it's $50 for free shipping, so ordering a variety of 12 oz bags is a good way to hit $50 and try a few different flavors.

Our work day technically starts at 8:30 but I always get grief if I schedule anything for 9:00. Motherfucker, you should have already been working for a half hour! And none of that grief ever comes from our Managing Director who’s on Central Time, it’s always the people in my timezone. Insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumb meeting didn’t want them knowing I’m making lunch! Adding to my paranoia is that one time, pre-COVID, I actually did have a call automatically connect as video while I was still in my underwear. I'd been having a problem with the phone software and IT reset all the settings to default and I'd forgotten that the software defaults to video on until it happened.
