Can you relate?
I'm at work and that 3pm hour is upon me. After drinking close to 3 litres of water (for my American counterparts -A lot a water), I get this pesky headache, my energy level starts plummeting faster than stocks on the TSE; I need a fix. I reach into my purse, dig through all the unnecessary items, promise myself to empty the purse and reorganize it, ridding myself of junk, until the next day --> Anyway, back to the reason I entered the purse (there will be a follow-up Blog on purse clutter, I reach for my wallet and scrape out $0.75. I sigh with relief that I have enough change. The Soda Machine is not fussy, any form of $0.75 is accepted (except pennies).I make the 2 minute walk through our building to the lunchroom, where I insert the coins into the machine and press the Diet Pepsi button way more times than necessary. Then I hear it, the thud of my purchase, the thrill of my afternoon, landing in the retrieval space! Hallelujah! Ecstasy! I quickly snatch it up, repeat my 2 minute walk to the building, back to my desk.
I place the can on my desk, admiring it briefly before setting a deadline for my consumption. I complete a self-imposed moratorium on consuming the Diet Pepsi - then I open the can and I guzzle it!!!! Satisfaction guaranteed!
On my way home, or into the office, i must remember to purchase something, anything, so that I can have the coinage required for my afternoon utopia.
