Default Newbie holding questions - drinking coffee at the console?

Here we eat and drink on position at will. I don't drink coffee but
I'm never very far from a Mountain Dew. We have a refridgerator,
microwave, sink and a drawar full of plates and silverware in the
tower cab as well as the breakroom. If somebody's coming up you can
have them bring you something but you usually aren't on position long
enough to have to worry about that. During the midshift when you're
alone I will just go downstairs when there's no traffic to get
something I need.




If I recall correctly, you're at KBIL(?) If so, I hate to think what's
in that refrig. ;-) Moose Brisket? Elk Jerky?



And what's wrong with that?
I visited a controller in Maine once and he provided bear ribs. While a
controller in AK I had fresh moose and Salmon at the same meal. Wild
food is a lot more memorable than civilized food!
Now you make me want to put my smoker on, but we have a burn ban in OK
so I just have to wait.


Nothing wrong with it. I was just making a lousy attempt at humor.
