I just did the numbers, first with Top Gear Math, then with Google and a calculator ...
The recipe makes 2.5L of cordial, which you dilute 10:1 - so it makes 2.5L * 11 of drinkable fluid. Assuming you use a sparkling water, that contains 1000g of sugar, so that's 1000/27.5 or 36.36 g/L of sugar. (Obviously, using tonic water bumps that up - by 49 g/L according to Schweppes.)
According to the Coca-Cola company (and printed on the cans) there is 10.6g of sugar per 100mL of Coke Original. That's 106 g/L!
So while it sounds like a mad amount of sugar in the recipe, it's a third of that in America's Favourite Soda, and still well under even with tonic water.
Drinking 1L of Coke is the equivalent of eating 13 boiled sweets (I just weighed 13 boiled sweets to check) which surprised me.

I completed the book, Fish![^]: A Proven Way to Boost Morale and Improve Results, recommended by @code-witch
in this thread[^].
Over all I liked the book. I just wish instead of teaching via the story narrative it wouldβve just been a straight up list of ideas.
Here are the main points:
1. Bring energy / good attitude to your work every day
2. Play (at your work) Have a sense of wonder about what youβre doing
3. Make their day β when you work with others, try to give them a sense of wonder and amazement at how you do things. Try to amaze others. Itβs work, but have as much fun as you can. Game every challenge you come in contact with.
These arenβt always easy but I try to follow them every day and even when tasks are boring I try to do them better than theyβve ever been done. Itβs odd that putting all your energy into boring tasks actually makes them seem better.

Try doing it for 30 years and then get back to us on your success.

Does it have a point 4: quit your job and find a new one when you discover your boss is unresponsive to points 1-3, and is just another 'money-rules-everything' person?

It doesn't have that step, but that is step 0 at 99% of the companies out there.

4. Respect everyone's pronouns.

Itβs weird being the same age as old people. Live every day like it is your last; one day, it will be.

...the advertisement CORRECTLY states that "it is raining in Seattle...."
such advertisement is traditional (wink wink ) means of discouraging influx...
without being rude
it sort of works...I still have web feet
Since I am from Missouri ...
show me a NORMAL person who does NOT go to work PRIMARILY to stay alive
all other comes with territory - "loving" the boring job being at the bottom...
I believe some educated philosopher stated that, and since I am an OF,
I forgot the name...

Yes, I definitely fit into that category.
But, if you only work to survive, you are probably living very little.
Of course, there are many ways to look at work:
1 - Work to get money so you can do what you want.
2 - Work at things you like to do but don't pay as much but lets you "work" at what you like to do.
3 - Sit around and live off other people's work.
4 - Any kind of grift -- unfortunately it still takes some "work" though.

jana_hus wrote: show me a NORMAL person who does NOT go to work PRIMARILY to stay alive Humans need to do something with their time. Even if it's just playing video games all day. We have to do something to escape boredom. Extending that concept to help others as well as ourselves is all work is. There's no need to hate it. Perhaps you don't like the hours, ok... get it. Perhaps you don't like the industry... get it. So find something you like to do can kill two birds with one STONE.
jana_hus wrote: all other comes with territory - "loving" the boring job being at the bottom... As long as you have that attitude you'll always be at the bottom. I've hired and managed people, and I promise nobody wants to be around Mr. Poopy. You get a lot of good things from work, you're learning skills and hopefully make friends. Sure, not every day will be great, but I'll just say there are some peeps I've met through work that I'm so grateful for getting the chance to know.

I agree.
Honesty and sincerity are often the best approaches in dealing with people (or least some good ones).
Tactfulness is also a good thing especially in business.

The truth is, how you say something and present your aura is 1,000 times more powerful than what you say.
For sure...than you get raked over the coal when your presentation "aura" does not jive with expectations.
In my world it is called prejudice judgement. Unfortunately not limited to presentation.
And you are also correct that some humans do that from boredom.
As an OF, I prefer
"if you cannot say anything nice - just shut up"
So with toastmasters "sandwich " approach :
irregardless of all of this , have a swell day and enjoy life as it comes.

If you give a presentation and it bombs, but you're a good, genuine person... 100% of people will understand. If you bomb it and tell them all to kiss your arse, well that's a different story.
I dunno where all these negative thoughts are coming from, but you may wanna go be honest with a winner and tell them you're trying to retrain your mind. Losers aren't gonna help.
