Morning Coffee. Is it morning if you're crossing timezones?
Chronic Jet Lag is a symptom of Secret Service Employment.
Particularly protective employment. You can always Tell when we walk into a room or a coffee bar in some corner of the world or even in our own backyard. It's worse on a plane.
Have you ever been on airforce one?
No, while flying kids.
Stewards are INCREDIBLY picky about trying to serve us coffee. It creates unhealthy addictions. How the hell are you supposed to stay in top physical form with someone trying to pump liquid "WAKE THE HELL UP JUICE" into your veins? "Would you like a coffee?" "Can I get you anything?" (and you know they're thinking coffee) when they can't pester the reporters they pester us.
My partner has sadly fallen victim to the stuff. He takes a cup every time a steward passes by. It's a wonder he doesn't jam up our bathroom. (He's going to kill me for saying this.)
Truth be told though, we're juiced enough. Especially if we go into a war zone or something. Adrenaline's it's own caffinated beverage. Think about it-we maintain a state of heightened alertness for eight hour shift periods. Some people (the old timers particularly barnes) drink it at home too. I don't get it, because when you're looking for SOMETHING that could potentially CAUSE HARM to SOMEONE you're buzzed.
I once caught my partner sleeping with a full cup of coffee on his lap. Nearly spilled it when we hit turbulence.
True story! Man's addicted. Me? I prefer soda. Or-actually, and this is fantastic. You want to know a great jet-lag cure? White Wine. I'm not kidding! We discovered this in... Prague. At least two glasses of white wine followed by a vigorous run really helps.
