so if you take this post doc in Canada not only will you put up with a
slave wage, but you'll have to make more trips to Tim Horton's for your
caffeine fix
At that wage, you're going to be making hot beverages from the bark you
strip from trees on campus, heated over a fire made from the wood from
those trees. Coffee would be something you hope to drink if you ever
get funded to go to a conference where it's provided free.
I seem to remember some of my fellow students looking at how to avoid
buying food by going to the assorted colloquium on campus, and eating
(and stashing) the food. Sadly, the food they put out was high fat/high
sugar, low nutritional value, which led to badly malnourished graduate
students ... who were twitching badly from all the free (bad) coffee ...
