- The fire alarm (I think) went off while I was reading last night. I have determined that I will never, ever, ever sleep through the fire alarm, because the alarm and walls seem to be setup to focus all of the sound right where my head is. Fuck, it’s loud.
- I like the Métro. A lot.
- Sometimes people do dumb stuff with CVS. F M U T A.
- I noticed that the things on my desk today tell a story, so I took a picture. Which story, exactly, is left as an excercise to the reader.
- It’s story time. Take a look at our Coke machine. You should be wondering why we have all of that pop on the top of the machine. This is the story of that pop.
The buttons read, in order, “Coke, Coke, Root Beer, Diet Coke, Sprite, Orange Juice, C Plus, Nestea, Nestea”. Notice how the third button actually says “Coke” but has a little sticker on it? Pretend that there’s a similar sticker over the bottom “Nestea” that says “Ginger Ale”.
Coke really, really wants you to put Coke in those top three slots, and to encourage this behaviour, programs the machine so that when you push any of those top three buttons, a Coke will come out of a random one of the three inside slots dedicated to Coke.
Sigh.
Likewise with the bottom two Nestea buttons. Hence, you have a one-in-three chance of getting a root beer no matter which of the first three buttons you press. FMHWA12ID.
- I’m off to play video games with Zab. Perfect Dark makes me wet.
- I think that this is my favourite bug ever.
