Well ... maybe chasing the Civet.
Not that I've tried Civet Coffee. Yet.

Overpriced!
Assuming what I was given was indeed civet coffee, also over-rated.
Not having the caught the civet in the act of pooping those beans one can never be 100% sure.

The Welsh Dragon doesn't move that fast these days!
And no, I've never tried H - I have enough trouble with reality, I don't need to mess with reality modifiers.

I have never understood this coffee fascination. We have no coffee at home. People seem to be shocked by this, for some reason.

Perhaps ... you should try it?
Carefully, of course, and under proper supervision - it can become a "gateway drink" leading to , rum, and gin if you aren't trained in it's use.

I am well versed in beer and rum. Former me was well versed almost all kinds of alcohols. Things were getting slightly out of hand so I restricted to beer and occasional rum.

So last Tuesday I went to bed, working for a small company; and woke the day after, working to the largest IT services company in Israel...
All my professional life I used to work for the same small company or alone... Any advice from those, who know how large companies work?

Looking at the history of the buyer - they absorb small companies within 2-4 years from acquisition, when those companies became departments of some expertise...
Until then the new companies are 'partners' or 'child-companies'...

Then we got absorbed into a larger division and things were slightly less good; decisions were taken by people we had never heard of. Then we got taken over by another company and soon many of us were without a job.
