If the project is anyway eventually going to be deprecated and shutdown, maybe it's better to take one of the Google bike and go round the campus drinking one of these tasty granitas from the cafeteria.

The craziest thing to me is that at my location not that many people did the free workout classes. Between those classes and the food I was in the best shape of my life while working there.

I steadily got in better shape as they kept cancelling the projects I worked on and I slowly lost and sort of will to care about my actual job. The quality of my work ended up suffering a lot as I realized just how pointless trying to work there was for me but the pay was too good to want to leave.

Edit: I was unlucky though. I knew some people with more stable projects. I went through 4 cancelled projects in close to 6 years

Is there alcohol in it? If so, I would consider, but I would still take the alcohol and code the project as well.
