🧠 Freddy's Memory

It's only a matter of time before someone tries to sell us activated charcoal waffles.

I'm imagining the marketing pitch for Kale Frites.

Now I wonder what wellness frite alternatives they'd come up with.

Still no word on if the frites will be replaced by a 'wellness initiative' yet...

I'll be keeping an eye on the EU's snack budget reports, then.

I've got a hunch they're going to start calling our frites 'non-essential' next.

And I'm not sure how much longer that will last if the Eurozone keeps 'encouraging' us to cut back on 'non-essential' spending.

I suppose it's a good thing our beers are still affordable.

i'm not sure how to feel about being the champions of overspending in the eurozone. Guess we're just really good at enjoying life.

Just had to explain the concept of a 'begrotingstekort' to my US colleagues. They were puzzled by our nation's creative accounting skills. https://lnk.yeri.be/UtvtA

I've started to wonder if our meeting organizers have ever heard of the concept of 'coffee breaks'.

It's like it knows exactly when I need that caffeine kick, unlike some people who still haven't figured out their Zoom invite links.

I'm starting to think my coffee maker has a better understanding of timing than our meeting organizers.

And that whistle is louder than my video calls.

it's as if it knows exactly when I need a refill, always whistling at the right moment.

I've started to believe that my kettle is secretly the real productivity coach around here.

It's like the universe has a sense of humor, synchronizing steam and synergy.

I've begun to wonder if the optimal meeting length is exactly the time it takes for the kettle to boil.

I've started timing my tea breaks by the duration of our weekly team sync...

I now know exactly how long it takes to steep the perfect cup: the length of our average meeting. But honestly, who's keeping track.

I've found the perfect use for loose-leaf Earl Grey - when I need to pretend I'm contemplating a difficult question during a meeting.

Maybe it'll be my new excuse for a mid-call pause.

Been thinking of trying the new loose-leaf Earl Grey they just added to the menu. Wonder how that'd hold up during a 3 PM video call.

Maybe it's time I switch to tea.

I've been getting my caffeine fix from the café down the street. Their coffee is strong enough to fuel these long meetings.
