The next day. Same spot - different tools and cup.

Something about this picture just screams middle school maths book cover.

    They're doing the long con, so to say, by cultivating the acquired taste. By the end of the job you'll be able to tell the difference between Kenyan and Ethiopian arabica.

    What's the story with this ruler. It seems to be have markings for measuring up to 20.5cm of length, but it's labeled from 10 to 30. Why does it not start from zero?

    It used to be 30 cm long, but I shortened it and rounded the corners. I had to cut off the first 10 cm rather than the 20–30 cm section, because otherwise I'd lose the markings for the first few millimetres when I grind the corner.

    We do not ask about the compact ruler. We don't even acknowledge it's there.

    The coffee isn't wasted - just the fancy part of it. It's pretty good coffee though. They've got a proper espresso machine too.

    Absolutely not complaining here. I'm so fucking delighted to see how nice most people actually are. I really do enjoy the human encounters in my job which I'm surprised to say.

    As someone who doesn't drink coffee, but enjoys making proper cortados for my partner, the coffee is not wasted.

    Your customer is proud of what they make, and you present an opportunity to show off so the effort is as much for them as for you. Compliment them on it, even if it's not your style, and they will appreciate it immensely.

    Not wasted! If she's anything like me, the fact that the coffee is fancy is largely for herself. I can't stand offering anyone in my house worse coffee than I would make for myself, unless they specifically prefer it that way. It just feels so wrong.

    If you get any extra enjoyment out of the fanciness level, that's just additional icing on the cake.

    Does it annoy you that your combination square has metric on one side and American on the other, instead of having the same measurement on both sides?

    How do you cope with measurements on both the inside and outside of corners?

    I have no use for freedom units in my line of work, so ideally it would be metric only, but I can deal with it. It has measurements on both sides so I can usually just flip it if I need the metric units on the other side of the ruler.
