Sexy spiders ...

S: Didn't you hear me screaming?
H: You were screaming?
S: I was screaming like Janet Leigh in Psycho!
H: Didn't hear a thing. Why were you sreaming?
S: There is a spider in the shower, I trapped it under a soapdish. Can you please get in and take it out? But swoop it up gently and don't hurt his legs. Spiders are all about their legs.
H: Whow!
S: What?
H: He's got a posse!
S: What?
H: There is not a soapdish in this city big enough for all of them.

Needless to say we haven't showered in a week. Each morning we'll give each other a gentle full body rub with a washcloth. Kinda sexy though ...

Coca Cola zero

just bought a small bottle, because I was curious.  Took one sip: disgusting!

Now, exactly how is "Coca Cola zero" supposed to be different from "Coca Cola light"? Both taste similarly appalling, I don't see a difference. Just a marketing ploy? Give "Coca Cola light" a new face and name, a huge marketing hype and hope that sales skyrocket.

Unless of course, the customer actually buys it and tastes it, then you are screwed, because they instantaneously realize: it's the same shit.  And that's it.

I doubt that "Coca Cola zero" will push sales. People who haven't bought "Coca Cola light" won't buy "Coca Cola zero" either. So there you go, same target group, meaning: sales won't climb, at least not for long.

Sorry, but there just is no substitute for sugar that actually tastes well. Apart from the fact that most sugar replacements give me a bad stomach ache and some even worse - but that's probably just me.

Either you drink the real thing, or just don't drink it at all.

Chatter

D: Have to go for lunch today with S. - shit, shit, shit, shit, shit
OK - had to get that off my chest. Though I am STILL not feeling better about it. If all goes well, and I don't end up hitting him or something, I'll come by between 1230 and 1300 to find out what you would like from "X" or wherever. I'll probably need a Schnapps

later ...

M: oh this chocolate is as heavenly as always ………. I am melting away! thank you so much for this piece of heaven you brought into my dull existence in the madhouse!unfortunately colleague has not realized I am eating chocolate or has chosen not to see or react to it. darn! and I also had the rest of the coke I got yesterday evening. I think she is starting to irgnore me :-( hmm, not much fun being bad if nobody is reacting. I guess next week I should start eating healthy again, maybe she'll notice and ask me about my change in eating habits …

D: You are going to drive her up the wall - and she's already half-way up, so watch it.

I am a camel and I live in a madhouse

wondering when it'll catch on. Can only be a matter of days.

Sharing my office with one person who recently had a nervous breakdown and now is back and demanding everything she can think of, and just about drives me up the wall with unsolicited comments about my nutritional habits and everything else, and another person who recently announced suicide plans - which luckily proved to be just an irrational panic reaction - and is not yet back in the office.

Much to my happiness, the above incidences always left me with the highly doubtful honor and glory to take over their duties and projects of which I have had no clue whatsoever and now leaves me with the even more questionable privilege of carrying out these tasks, and taking over most of their duties, as to not put too much pressure on their fragile mental state.

Well, it can only be a matter of time until somebody comes along and the last straw breaks the camel's back.  Me  of course being the camel. 

I need lots and lots of chocolate and pasta, and bananas for dersert, my serotonine level needs some uplifting.
