In house Costa Coffee + 45P a go = Sleepless Nights...

[ChrisPackit]

Just started at new ClientCo which has an in house Costa coffee, and it's 45p for an Americano.... 45p!! It's nearly £2.00 at my local one in sunny Wigan. Needless to say, I'm never in the office, just loitering around Costa all day.

For the last 2 weeks, I've not been able to sleep properly though and it's starting to make a bit of sense...

Makes a change from the last place that didn't even have a tea spoon to make a brew yourself!

Anyone else lucky enough to have such luxury....

ClientCo has proper serious bean to cup machines, free to use. I have seen the same machines in some cafes who charge £2 a cup.

Not quite as good as Costa/Starbucks etc but very close.

Bean to cup espresso machine for free.
Waaaaaaaayyyyyyy too much coffee for me!!

Oh the joys of Bank of America / MBNA. Really should aim to head back there over the next year or so.

Haha, good guess!

Right, off to the onsite gym, then badminton tomorrow and a Circuits class on Friday. It's a hard life here .....

Made freinds with a few permies who are giving me some of their 50% off vouchers (luxury clothing brand).

Not bad.

I'm not. Got a water boiler and my own teabags.

Factories (that I end up in) are crap.

During gigs at Goldmine Sucks and UBS they both had free coffee. Not sure if they still do it or not.

While you've been lying awake at night have you done the calculation of how much you earn in the time it takes you to go an buy a coffee?

Past client had cinema tickets for £4, basically half price in London.

Another had £1.50 full english breakfast in the subsidised canteen.
