send help. (help=diet coke)

The vending machines at work have been out of Diet Coke for over a month. This means I need to do one of three things:

1. Drink Diet Pepsi, the red headed step-child of low calorie soft drinks

or

2. Bring Diet Coke from home.

or

3. Go elsewhere to purchase Diet Coke.

Now, I’ve been pretty lazy lately and have been living off of saltines and peanut butter instead of going to the grocery store. This means my at-home Diet Coke supply is depleted. I’ve been drinking Diet Pepsi, against my better judgment, because it’s convenient and available at work. But I hate it. A lot.

This morning I was sitting on the bus watching a girl drink a Diet Coke and I wanted to stomp over to her and rip it out of her hands. Rather than be arrested for assault, I decided just to get off the bus a stop early and run into CVS to buy a DC all my own.

I swear to God, the world is against me. CVS was out of Diet Coke. Like, what the shit? Seriously? They had Coke Zero, Coke Zero with Cherry, Diet Coke with Lime, Diet Coke Plus, Caffeine Free Diet Coke. And then all the stupid Pepsi products. I stood in front of that stupid refridgerator and wanted to cry. I ended up settling for a caffeine-free, because it tastes the MOST like the real mcoy. I’ll deal with a caffeine headache, I just needed the sweet, sweet aspartame taste upon my lips.
