Pick Your Poison
Tuesday, April 25, 2006
This morning, I stunned Deisy (my usual McDonalds order-taker) by getting a large coffee instead of my oft-ordered large Diet Coke. I don't typically drink coffee in the morning, but I had a 2-hour conference call at 8am and that's usually when I'm getting on the bus. It was also very cold outside, so I needed the warm-up.

Anyway...I was feeling poorly about requesting 2 creams in my drink. Then, as I stepped aside to wait for my completed order, a very frazzled woman stepped up to the register and promptly ordered a small coffee with 4 creams and 5 sugars.

That's right, 4 creams and 5 sugars. And POOF just like that, my insecurities were obliterated. Thank you for that, frazzled lady. Good luck trying to get to sleep tonight.
