Okay, this morning I had nothing to write about. Not a damn thing.
Then, I went to the soda machine down the hall, inserted my dollar and got a warm cola. And getting a warm cola frosts my hiney. Instead of a frosted hiney, I want a frosted cola.
I mean, when I see a cola machine (I would say Coke® machine, but I really don't want to get sued by Pepsi, Coke, or whomever else wants to sue my frozen ass) and it is plugged into a wall, I expect a cold soda. I mean, a 20 ounce cola costs $1, and I figure part of that cost is because it is cold and on demand. For about $3, I could get a six pack (warm) and stick them under my desk. And those sodas would really be "on demand." I would not even have to go down the hall.
So here I have a warm soda – no warning on the machine, no discount. There are refrigerators that can tell you that you don't have milk, but a soda machine can't tell you that they have warm sodas. I guess that's because the soda machine's job is to sell its sodas, and it is a whole lot harder to hawk sodas when they are warm. I wonder if they drink warm soda in Europe (sort of like warm beer).
Anyway, I got so steamed that I call the 800 number on the side of the machine. On the plus side, the steaminess thawed out my ass. On the negative side, the guy asks for the account number associated with the soda machine. After painfully explaining that I am a customer, not a vendor, the cheerful person informs me that she cannot do anything for me, a lowly customer. If I had the account number, she could direct me to another phone number where I could register a complaint.
About now, I am thinking one of those mini-refrigerators are looking darned good. Instead of only including soda in the machine, I may need to keep a spare beer or two. For days like this one.
End note: did you know that a hinny was "the hybrid animal produced when a female ass (jennet) is crossed to an older smaller stallion." You learn something new with spell-check.
My Interview on Decorating Early for Christmas

3. My Stories. Yeah, I have a few erotic stories here. I know, they are not all that good, but they were fun to write. Don't read them if this offends you (and they represent less than 1% of the content here). These stories have elements of truth and fantasy, some more true than others. Complain about something that is a bit more substantive if you must complain. I have lots of faults.

I only drink warm soda.
Read my blog/rant, then chill out
like you, I have my caffeine fix with soda, but i have an endless supply of ice, so i dump two dews into a giant quart mug, what my wife calls, a personnel potty, and enjoy it all day.
i like cold drinks, the colder the better, almost to the point of slush. Ice cold ginger ale is the baest, slussghy ginger ale.
i know, I am wierd.
sue me!
LOL
I am a victim of not having electricity. But I found the best fucking project out there. I don't think many of your readers have the ability to help with it, but I think that if you know technically capable people, you should definitely point them toward this project. I will post about it as soon as my electricity comes back and I can bring my web/ftp server back up.

I like my milk with ice in it. I like my dark beer warm. If I mix the two the ice melts too quickly and it tastes a little watery.
I like Ginger Ale with my Rye
Tonic with my Vodka
Red Bull with J.D.
That's as far as soda affects my life.
Leesa my beautiful dear. I think what you require is this :)

Funny you mention this. Everytime we go into the big city for shopping, I grab a soda out of one of the fridges for the drive home.
I never fails that they are warm.
Quite annoying.
"I wonder if they drink warm soda in Europe (sort of like warm beer).
Nope, you can bet your frosted hiney and your frosted ass that if the drinks machine don't roll out cold cand we get just as peed off.
Even those syrup dispensers in pubs are chilled as is most beer. Warm beer drinkers are a pretty exclusive club who generally belong to CAMRA campaign for Real Ale (ale the real english beer) not lager like those krauts. lol!
But this is old shop, people in England now drink more wine or lager than english beer - and even Guinness and traditional beers are sold 'chilled' in pubs, now!
I'm sure you really really didn't want to know all this - but just to finish I'm from the generation who created Club Med, and I don't care which pub I'm in, oe in which country, I want bucket loads of ice with my cold drink in a glass - or I'll send it back.
It might have something to do with my marketing beer & ice in my younger days
I want to know where you get your beer and ice from - and I tried marketing "crystal" pepsi - but mu heart wasn't really into that one
Rather market "Kaliber" or alcohol free lager - lol!
I work in this crummy industry and that person should have asked for the address, phone number etc and easily could have pulled up the account. We refer to it as customer no-service. I apologize for it all day long to my affected customers. After nearly 10 years with this company, if my husband gets transferred again, I'm seeking employment in another industry. Sorry about your ramdom s**t luck with the operator.
(p.s. we don't sue...we get sued)
I think that could have sent me over the edge today.
only in america would a warm can of pop become a crisis, hehe
Well, hopefully your company that you work for doesn't blow a circuit because you brought in a mini fridge to cool your sodas...........(or beer in my case...) They stick it to me because I sneak in a space heater every once in a while.......
B A S T A R D S!!!!!!
(And of course Say It Hot had to use my computer!!!!) It's Deb... I used her acct and can't get out of it. I'm stuck in someone else's identity!

I look so different.
She needs to change that picture.... Jis sayin'. ha! She's gonna kill me.
Much better....ahhhh.....I feel like myself again.
I like moist cake.
I hate that too...or when I go into the store and get one out of the cooler and it's room temp...
Every teachers room usually has a mini fridge, and I appreciate that.

I am glad you are supporting our chemical industry by buying soda...*L*
