Worthles Observation

[digitaldiscipline]

Diet Coke with Lemon tastes almost exactly like Pepsi with a shot of Absolut Limon or Stoli Citrus Twist.

Why am I drinking it? It's sugar-free and has caffeine (the other office soft drinks at this moment are caffeine-free Coke Classic and Diet Barq's Root Beer (had one already).

But every mouthful makes my mouth think I'll be hungover tomorrow, since something in the aforementioned adult additives, even in true moderation (as in, "one over the course of an evening") would give me a hellacious headache the following morning.

At least my sinuses are no longer staging a revolt. Good thing, too. I'm up to my eyebrows in semi-legible facsimile copies of shorthand translations of military-to-civilian safety regulations.

At least the boss is gone until tomorrow.

This is why I can't drink Vanilla Coke. I keep expecting to get drunk off it, it's like a cocktail without the cock! And caffeine-free? Why caffeine-free ANYTHING? Kerrist!

Bunny sez: drinkin' is fun

Blast this evil capuccino machine at work. I don't even LIKE cappucino all that much, but it keep luring me in with French vanilla coffee. Plus, it's fun to slap the little pouch in the door and watch it do its thing. Plus, it's free. Therefore, I have been HIGHLY caffeinated ALL week and not sleeping.

BOING

However, I am getting work done and kicking ass and taking names. It's truly nice to be back in a job where I can actually excel and do stuff and show off my skills rather than beat my head against the desk. Yeah, it's gonna work out here.

I had almost the opposite reaction to the vanilla vodka and Pepsi (it was Pepsi or diet, and I can't do aspartame -- migraines; aren't I fun?)... It was like having a regular vanilla cola.

And don't you have coffee at work instead? Or do you have an aversion to uncarbonated, unsweetened caffeine?

Ah. We live on coffee here. Well, not really. But I have of late. Sort of. But there's 25+ people here...

What's wrong with your co-workers?

Side note re: "Co-workers" -- a gal on my friends list refers to the bane of her office existence as the "cow irker." Seems like you might have a few cow irkers at your workplace. ;P
