If I need a lift, I get a bottle of Starbuck’s Dark Chocolate Mocha. Yummy! It works for a while. But I still only drink one.
Tom and I learned how to text message! We feel really smart now!
Today that didn't sound good. But then I am never in a Starbucks except when traveling, to get my OJ & scone for breakfast. While I like full hotel breakfasts, I don't like the price most charge, they're probably pretty fattening, and I don't need anywhere near that much food to keep me going all morning sitting in meetings until lunch. Even late European lunches.
We're looking at the hotel options for Paris. The meeting hotel is nice but not cheap: at the peak daily rate of 209 € it would be the most I have paid (okay, my employer paid), but I can get it down to 169 € and weekends can go down to 105 € -- but I definitely balk at "Breakfast additional 16.50 € per person": $20 breakfasts??
My employer would likely pay without question (and has paid similar rates without question in better times), especially in a city such as Paris (as opposed to Peoria) but this offends my Scottish blood.
