The lockdown joke

[smitty55]

You do realize many and probably most DR's, Nurses any medical person probably doesn't have time to make coffee. Especially at work. Quicker to send one person out. But I guess we could just let people die, heck like I said shut it all down then.

My Sister doesn't have time to get a coffee, they send one person to Timmies. Do you want a tired DR operating on you?

As well if you think the DR's are in on the gig I hope you will never ever you a Hospital or take any kind of prescription drug, no exceptions.

Really? If a doctor can't function without drinking coffee to stay awake we are in big trouble. It's called getting adequate sleep. Back in the day folks used a thermos to bring to work.

You do realize most Dr's are over worked some works well pass 24 hours this is very common knowledge.
Yeah many Dr's and Nurses do not get adequate sleep. My sister has done many 24 and even a 36 shift.
How many hours can you go?

I worked for 13 years in an avionics shop at an airline. There was a coffee maker in our shop that was always going. First person to arrive in the morning got it going. Nobody ever had to go out for coffee. Pretty simple solution.

I recommend you step up to the plate and tell the Hospitals you know how to run the place for them and that you are going to make the rules for them.
I realize you might not understand but sometimes when you are in high stress jobs sometimes you will expect some service. But heck Dr's don't have high stress jobs saving lives do they.

Agreed X2
Some people are just so entitled, its far below them to actually make themselves a drink.
I wonder if there's Tim Hortons in Caribbean airports when the self-entitled land during lockdowns...lol.

OK, my spin on it as I also work in hospitals. All major ones have at least one Tim Horton's somewhere within the facility as well as sometimes a Starbucks.
If not, the cafeteria has pots on the warming plate but usually not the best quality.

Caffeine is a drug with benefits. Period! https://www.camh.ca/en/health-info/m...index/caffeine

Does not matter if you buy it on the way to work, brew it at home or purchase on site it is needed by many.
Ranks right up there with alcohol and tobacco hence why they are still dispensing it.
I know myself that I go into withdrawal if I don't have my 2 mugs in the morning every day.

Medical professionals don't have time to brew a pot at work. A lot simpler to pick up a fresh cup before the shift. Same with truckers and many other trades. This is a convenience factor for our workforce at this time of lockdown. Police, paramedics, snow plow operators.....many depend on this drug.

It is obvious here that many working from home forget about our support personnel out there holding things down for us.

Yup, guess I’m old school too. I don’t have a Tim’s on the way to work so I’ve been making my own in a travel mug for years. And is probably still make my own if there was a Tim’s - lineups are long and I’m cheap.

How much COVID CERB money do you suppose has ended up in the coffers of Tim’s ??

I worked almost straight midnights for the past 12 years (4 weeks midnights and 2 weeks day shift). Caffeine drives the midnight shift.

Doesn't seem to be an issue for people who aren't allowed to leave the property at break time to supply themselves with coffee. The lazy people usually show up with a tray of Tim's to get through the night. They're ironically the same bunch who are usually whining about not being paid enough.

You had me onboard until the very last line.
Personally, I place as much value on the unsung, usually invisible and under valued parts of a functioning society than I do those that get put on pedestals. Often, they are more important..Back in the spring there was some hope society, would learn that every cog in the wheel is vital, and essential. From the lowly garbage collectors holding things down, to grocery store clerks so said people in healthcare can eat and have places to live and work....

PS what demographic is losing nights sleep, life savings and their homes
?

For example.
5 construction workers in Ontario lost their lives in December...Not even a blip in the news, certainly no fanfare nor pedestal for them. .Firefighters/Cops? Don't even make the top ten most dangerous jobs........

Caffienne.
Refer to it as jumper cables to the brain

Lockdowns.
Lots of press today that Quesbec is going into a hardlock down tomorrow with many calling for curfews. Some speculation Ontario will follow suit.

Timmy's is an essential medication/drug for some. My one buddy can't have a satisfying bowel movement unless he cranks two of their xlarge coffees. Goes through him like old chip fryer grease through a dump bear.

Damn near pissed myself, that’s funny.
