Thursday – Didn’t sleep well. Big project coming up due. Nightmares about doing work. Take kids to school. Smile warmly as think of coffee waiting for me in breakroom.
Stop. Go in, coffee cup in hand. No creamer. No creamer means no coffee. I’m not a black coffee drinker. I like good coffee, but it has to be creamy!! Drink cola…very unsatisfying. Not enough caffeine.
Friday – Same as night before. Same wind up. Hope the supply goddess has ordered more creamer.
Stop. Go in, coffee cup in hand. No creamer…again. Don’t drink cola. Too much sugar & chemicals. Raises triglycerides. Bad. Cranky all day. Only good thing is it’s ‘casual Friday’. Whee!
Have weekend where I take work home and deal with the raging pile of hormones that is my teen daughter. Have coffee and creamer at home. Yum.
Monday – More sleep, yet still waking to nightmarish work scenarios. Take kids to school. Hope again the supply goddess has granted my wishes and brought more creamer. Surely someone else has complained!
Stop. Get out, coffee cup in hand. Don’t bother to fill it…no creamer again!!! This time, I rage about it – quietly…no need to rouse the ire of the Boss – to anyone who will listen. Supply goddess says, “We’ll put the order in tomorrow.” Tomorrow? I thought it had already been ordered. Who are these people?! Anti-coffee activists in disguised as administrative assistants?? Cranky day. Don’t even get to wear jeans. Day looks up when friend reveals secret stash of creamer in desk. Yum.
Tuesday – Still having nightmares about the project. Wake up with brilliant idea: Bring my own secret stash of creamer! Hope has ended.
Stop. Go in, get coffee cup, look around secretively and mix up my coffee – just the way I like it. Take creamer back to desk. Enjoy coffee. Yum. Better day. Not enough creamer, though. Not enough coffee. Crankiness sets in later. Having daymares now. Can’t even enjoy lunch.
WHERE IS THE FARKIN’ CREAMER, OH ABSENT SUPPLY GODDESS???
It’s at the store…unordered. Will need more ‘secret stash’ creamer tomorrow. I’m boy-scoutin’ It’s all good…for now.
ORDER THE FARKIN’ CREAMER!!!
