i never drink cokes in the morning - the sweetness is just usually more than i can handle pre-noon. but this morning i got behind a dr. pepper truck on the way to work and i'll be darned if it didn't make me crave a nice cold dp. i have been fighting the urge since i arrived at my desk (i even forewent coffee). i finally decided to give in, but discovered that i had no change. so, i borrowed $.55 from a coworker. i went up to the coke machine, deposited my $.55, and depressed one of two buttons that declared "dr. pepper". and out comes a mug rootbeer. that junk doesn't even have caffeine. so, i sold the rootbeer to another coworker for $.55 and went back to the machine to try a second time. this time i avoided the first button and tried the second. out comes another freakin' rootbeer! the whole thing 'bout near drove me to cuss right there in the office kitchenette. all i wanted was a cold dp and it looks like it's not gonna happen.
