Morning sickness
30 Aug
On my way to the office this morning, I spotted a woman walking to the train station with a can of diet coke in her hand.
I know if confronted, she’d compare her morning cola to the cup of coffee that her workmates drink. (As long as she didn’t tell me to go fuck myself instead.) And, it’s true: Coffee (particularly the average 7-eleven or Dunkin Donuts variety,with a splenda thrown in) is not that much better at all.
Now that we agree, I really need to WAKE YOU UP to the fact that you are not getting your work day off to a great start with a chemical cocktail of aspartame and caramel color.
Want to know why you’re known as the bitch around the office? Why you feel cranky at 10 am? Perhaps your job sucks. Your boss is an ass, and all that jazz.
But trust me, if you started your day off with sauteed spinach and garlic, with turkey bacon thrown in (like I did!), your shitty job and boss might look just a little bit better.
I don’t think coffee is nearly as bad as diet coke. I mean, it’s not GREAT but people have been drinking it for hundreds (thousands?) of years so I think we know a bit more about it. That said, I happen to love diet coke…though I only have one every few weeks (at the most) and never in the morning.
