At 8:07 a.m., I put ‘don’t disclose’ in the cafe app’s order notes by reflex, then mentally logged the pickup like an intake and nearly answered the barista as if it were line 3. Does anyone else have their confidentiality and record-keeping follow them to the coffee counter?
, commas really do kill deals — the Maine truck drivers overtime case cured me — so right before e-filing I do a 2-minute “comma pass” by hitting Ctrl+F for “,” and letting Word’s Read Aloud play the last two pages. If I’m slammed, I ping @MarcoL for a 60-second read-back on Teams; it’s saved me from a rogue comma in a defined term more than once. If you’re into professional development, Garner’s pointers are gold: https://lawprose.org.
I set a location-based reminder that pops up at the cafe door saying ‘this is coffee, not client intake,’ which snaps me out of work mode before I hit the counter. Would you try it for your usual spot? I had to pin it to one address after it triggered at the wrong shop, but it’s been solid since.
I keep coming back to the baker–brewer link: shops would source barm from two alehouses and keep twin pots, then blend if one was “weak” — old-school variance smoothing; see Barm - Wikipedia. The catch was drift in flavor and you still had to hit weight under the 1266 Assize, so , lots of test pinches to stay out of trouble. Anyone run a modern analog with dual starters or a par-bake hold to cover demand spikes, @gwoods76?
