Quote from Opus the Poet on Apr 16th, 2009, 1:49am:Since I started the new job I have discovered the only occupation that drinks more coffee than Computer Geek is Journalism. I'm now a journalist formerly a computer geek.
Coffee? Eww. When I was back at Clarkson we'd sit in the computer lab and down multiple 2 liter bottles of code red each in overnight sessions when we were either designing software of playing with molecular structures on the really expensive machines. One guy was a heavy jolt drinker but that stuff was gross. Yeah yeah no liquids in the lab
Same thing in the server rooms at Verizon and Hitachi Metals of American it was Regular Dew or Code Red no coffee except the intern from Japanese Parent Company for Hitachi.
I'm not allowed caffiene now, nor was I then, so it is very rare that I have any these days. I do however know someone who goes through oh 4 gallons of diet coke a week and if it wouldn't go flat on a bike I'm sure they'd have it then too.
