They restocked the vending machine with caffeinated beverages. Perhaps more caffeine will help this migraine. I mean, I already have nausea and light sensitivity, so if Coke makes me puke, at least I'll have a good reason to go home early.
Yes. Lucky for you, people may be in danger.

Has Coke Zero been discontinued?
It doesn't look like it. Also there's a Cherry Coke Zero.

I took the afternoon off to rest my seized up back. Which I was feeling a little guilty about until my chiropractor told me my back was more seized up than it was yesterday. Taking off tomorrow is looking pretty good.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yikes, Sue! Rest up!
I wish I had more meetings cancelled. Instead, I have more meetings. Including one where, when I said I was free on whatever day until 4pm, the other person said, "OK, how about 3:30?" Um, sure.

Also, I found out I have a job interview next week. For a job I am unsure about. This isn't helping me relax!!!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola
As an example, there are signs all over the Metro saying that eating and drinking are prohibited - but people get on with food and drink (heaven forbid they should go without water for 15 minutes!) and frequently leave a mess for someone else to clean up.
I don't know if this is exactly about entitlement, or more about the organization having a different idea of acceptable use than the actual users.
I've been typing this post for 10 minutes and can't come up with how to say what I want to say, so, er, never mind.

Lessing not impressed by Nobel Prize:
Doris Lessing pulled up in a black cab where a media horde was waiting Thursday in front of her leafy north London home. Reporters opened the door and told her she had won the Nobel Prize for literature, to which she responded: "Oh Christ ... I couldn't care less."
Lessing brightened when a reporter asked whether the Nobel would generate interest in her work.
"I'm very pleased if I get some new readers," she said. "Yes, that's very nice, I hadn't thought of that."
Okay, then!

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
According to Reuters, she had a slightly different take on the Nobel Prize: "I've won all the prizes in Europe, every bloody one. I'm delighted to win them all, the whole lot," she told reporters outside her London home. "It's a royal flush."
