Hello my lovely followers and all the other people checking out my blog,

am I the only person totally bored by conferences all day long? I'm sitting in one right now. It's Sunday afternoon. I probably drank like 1 too 2 liters of coffee. And ate a handful of crackers.
Do you know this coffee that's already 3 hours kept hot and tastes awful. But without it there's no way to survive those days.
There are a couple of rules for this scientific conferences:

  1. Always exceed your speaking time
  2. Start a discussion that doesn't end and nobody can follow it, because it's too specific
  3. Awful coffee
  4. Crackers
  5. Great weather outside and you're stuck

I love that.

Have a nice Sunday,
Mtheisen

You could try green tea. Huge amount of caffeine and it's still alright after being kept hot for hours. Of course, that doesn't solve the other problems...

Thanks mate, I once had a little bit too much of green tea and it kept me awake all night.
