I was just getting over being sick, and I was poisoned tonight at dinner. I asked for a Cherry Pepsi, which I usually ask for in order that I not accidentally get a diet, since I have a violent reaction to Aspartame. My heartrate gets erratic, my temperature spikes, I get a headache and dizziness, and certain digestive problems as my body tries to flush the poison out. I ask for cherry because they pay special attention to it that way.
The waitress put the grenadine in a cup of diet pepsi. I took a drink before realizing, and now I'm going to be (dangerously) miserable all night at work. Usually I'd call off if this sort of thing happens, but I'm not sure I can yet without getting written up.
