the almost failed quest for caffeine

Sep 15, 2008 09:43

Okay, I'm not a caffeine person. I don't rely on it to wake up in the morning. But today, I was really exhausted when I got to work, so I decided to get a cappuccino from the shop downstairs. I can't handle drinking real coffee. So I got it and it was super hot, so I just brought it upstairs with me. I started sipping at it. It didn't seem quite right, but it was still so hot that I wasn't positive there was something wrong. I went about doing other things and when I tried it again, I knew for sure that it was really just glorified flavored hot water.
I took it downstairs to complain. The machine was out of mix, so the cashier replaced it. She tested it and found that it still wasn't working, so I got a refund.

See, the whole reason I went for that in the first place was because I don't like drinking soda in the morning. But with limited options, I went to the vending machine. I was almost defeated when it started refusing my quarters. But I finally succeeded, and now I have a Coke sitting on my desk.

Quite frankly, I think the whole ordeal wore me out more than if I'd just tried to wake up on my own without and chemical stimulation.
I guess I know for next time.
