My senior always jokes about opening a food truck. One day they're gonna push us hard enough that we'll do it, too.

    The difference between IT and important jobs, is that I get to drink on the clock in IT. In fact it's mandated.

    At my old job, the IT department had a kombucha tap right at the end of their counter. I always wondered if they considered swapping the kombucha keg out for something stronger.

    My first tech job had a beer fridge and a guy who filled it that we all called the Beer Captain.

    I swear I must be the only sucker that hasn't encountered one of these freely drinking tech companies.

    It's not just tech companies lol. It's funny, the place we would have meetings--when it was a lot of people--was 50% off for the company. It was a nice cantina. Let's just say my beer mug was a jug and I didn't have to pay for it lol. >_> one time I was the designated driver sigh. Good thing it was a minute drive and then we would all drink more at the bosses house. Even when I worked in education, no one gave me shit coming in smelling of booze; one day I had to call off after reading my students file. No one blamed me for getting shitfaced after reading that.

    You're not the only one, I've been with quite a few startups and before that I worked with VC's to help get new portfolio companies rolling with IT. Never have a seen it, I've only heard of it.

    Did you ever try it? Or is kombutcha just what they wrote on the label?

    I did try it. If it was beer, it was the weakest, fruitiest beer I've ever tried.

    Was that some sort of kombucha-flavoured soft drink? Actual kombucha drink tastes only like vinegar. (I drank it for maybe a year in a health-crazed period ~20 years ago xD)

    There's some kombucha that tastes quite fruity and sweet. Actually in that city there was a kombucha company that made a really delicious grape kombucha.
