How big is too big? And how many cups of coffee, tea and water are too many? What if there is no such thing as “too big” or “too many?”
At work, only a fool allows himself or herself to be overcome with thirst. Only a gigantic selection of juices and drinks will keep even a model employee operating at 100 percent for 8 to 10 hours.
I’ve chosen a variety of cups and containers to keep my whistle permanently wet. From a half-gallon jug of coffee to a smaller mug that keeps me pumped full of herbal tea on sick days, I’m taken care of.
When I need a cold sip of water to cool my hot bod, I have a logo-engraved sippy cup that keeps my agua chilly and my thirst quenched.
Whenever I want to pull off that “too busy to talk” look, I duck out and grab a to-go cup from one of the many coffee shops sprouting up across Chattanooga. I then refill this throughout the day with the sludge they serve at work, therby appearing as if I just came back from a very, very, very important meeting.
Best of all, at any given time, any one of these cups could safely contain up to 100 percent whiskey.
What are your work drink secrets?
