43 Ideas for Birthday 43: 43 Diet Cokes

 

 Is this subtle enough for you?

Toast to Traditions!

Here's hoping your "Black Friday" was most frugal!. 

I spent 0.00 x 100% again this year.

Now, as for Small Business Saturday tomorrow, 

I will take this pledge again, but in a new location.

Least Favorite e-mail of last week

From a colleaque:

"Many of you have asked why the water cooler by my desk has been deemed “out of order” for the past week. Two men just came by and informed me that they found roaches both behind and INSIDE the cooler. The exterminator is looking in to the cost of replacing the unit free of charge.

I have not heard from building management about this, but it most certainly seems like a health concern."

You think?

Just when I was starting to drink water again, and weaning myself off the Diet Coke!

SOOOOOOOOO incredibly gross!

Wakeup Call

What's better than four alarm clocks, running for an early train, and/or a caffeinated beverage to get you going in the morning? FREEZING COLD SHOWERS!

Our building is full of college students and working stiffs; two groups of people who hate the morning for various reasons. Getting up is difficult, so any help is appreciated. ... well, almost any help. (reference above)

The following notices went up around the building last week.

Like this time of year isn't hard enough, what with school and depressing anniversaries, and the health warnings about washing up properly so as not to get the H1N1 virus, now there is NO HOT WATER? Eh, at least we got notices this time. Usually we find out the hard way. ... Canyou say, shrinkage?

Mr. Landlord,

If you must "motivate" us in the morning, I would prefer an ice cold Diet Coke over an ice cold shower.

Just a suggestion.

Hugs and kisses,

Auntie Nettie

FINALLY ...

My Monday can begin. After a half hour delay on the trains, standing cheek to jowl with the masses, and after fruitlessly searching four Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi* vending machines in the building, I resorted to going to the cafeteria. Now that I have my 44 oz. soda foundation Diet Pepsi and my Styrofoam bowl of Fruit Loops, I can start my day ... only an hour late.

(Hey, I'm working an event tonight at Practice, Practice, Practice! The hour this will be made up way after "office hours.")

*Umm .. Please, Mr. Vending Machine Filler Guy? Can we have less of the Gatrrrade junk and more Diet Pepsi so I can have that for a fallback when the smaller Coke machine runs out of my "medicine?"

'Kay? Thanks.
