Coffee now. Lots of work today. The kids just got their Pfizer vaccines in Managua.
Seeing a house that we are 95% sure we are renting today. Then I'm heading to Managua myself to party.
P-A-R-T-Why? Because I gotta!
That's nothing, on December 7th we are closing our hotel and all its associated bars and restaurants, fencing off the beach, erecting two stages, and TEN international DJs are attending a giant concert on the beach. We have to hire an entire shadow hotel staff to cook, serve, bartend, etc. It's going to be crazy. We are going to sell out every hotel room on both beaches and tons of them in the city. The entire crowd is expected to be from the capital hours away, with lots of people flying in from the US.
why shadow staff?
We need the real staff for the full day before the event and opening for breakfast as the event ends!
Shadow IT at least to me is IT that is undermining the companies assigned IT staff.
I assume this additional staff isn't there with the goal of undermining the normal staff?

Not necessarily undermining. At IBM Shadow IT did all of the work, the actual IT department was running scams and not actually working, but had political clout and couldn't easily be fired because they were the same ones making money scamming customers and that was the big money (and why only an idiot would get services from IBM.) Internally they were required to pretend the IT staff were doing work so that customers could ask if they were eating their own dogfood, but shadow IT did ALL the work. Anything that actually ran came from shadow IT. In that case, primary IT was the one undermining the business. If they were the only ones there, IBM would have had to have closed its doors.

Morning everyone, coffee time.
-
Good morning all... I'm testing out one of those mushroom based "coffee alternative" beverages. Well, this one has a little bit of cold brew extract (?). Tastes pretty good, but a bit on the weak side. Like a mocha with less espresso and more milk. I will report back on the effects.
-
One pot of coffee down, debating on making another one as it's getting colder by the minute outside- when i woke up at 6 this morning it was 64F and it is currently 39 and dropping. Cold weather looks to be here for a while.
-
I need more coffee

weird. what's the purpose of the alternative in this case? No caffeine? More caffeine? Alternative energy source?

It has a little caffeine in it, the rest of it is supposed to supercharge how your body uses it. Pretty good energy boost, but it leaves me wanting in the flavor department, so I made a pot of coffee anyway. But the mushroom stuff gives me WAY more energy and focus than the same 5-6oz of coffee does.

@RojoLoco well that's cool. I've not seen that anywhere yet.

What's it called, and how does it price check against coffee?

Good morning all! About to have coffee, shower, and head to the beach because I'm showing houses today to an investor looking to retire to the beach.

This one is called Everyday Dose, they have a 7 day trial for $5 shipping. Looks like it's about $1.33 per day (1 per day), of course, it's a subscription model. Worth a try if caffeine doesn't always do the trick.
