| typical translator | Aug 29, 2005 |
Oh, I've been waiting for this topic to come up
According to one of my friends, the typical translator lives on coffee and cigarettes. Coffee-drinking and chain-smoking equal to "translator" in his definition. Well, it fits for me: I can't work without either one. How about you?

| What, no tea? | Aug 29, 2005 |
In true British style, I am constantly drinking tea at my desk. I think if I drank coffee in the same way I would be climbing the walls

With a X-cola drink.
But most of the time, zero food.

| British Breakfast Tea... | Aug 29, 2005 |
It tastes really good. But I am wondering if it's as refreshing as Chinese green tea...Maybe it is.

| Can't answer the question, since you can only choose one answer | Aug 30, 2005 |
At least "all of the above" should be a choice!

| What about... | Aug 30, 2005 |
beer, wine (white & red), whiskey or why not a longdrink in order to cope with a tough translation And some people might prefer to smoke other stuff than tobacco
Another poll from the department "not very necessary polls".

| Cigarettes ?? | Aug 30, 2005 |
I find it surprising how many people appear to eat or drink cigarettes at work !!
They have become so expensive that I can no longer affird to eat or drink them so I just smoke them from time to time while drinking my coffee

Exactly, I really missed the option "tea" - I never have acquired a taste for coffee.
As an emergency solution I chose "chips/snacks" because chocolate comes a close second...
