Cups Of Water And Oyster Crackers

So I just went to get a Styrofoam cup full of water from the cafeteria because you know, I get thirsty and whatnot. I've been doing this every day since I started the new job. I find it important to drink lots of water everyday. First off, it's delicious! I mean, water, man. That's some tasty stuff.

Anyway, I've been going through around 3 Styrofoam cups a day. What can I say? I love the environment. I always wanted to be a Planeteer.

So as I'm pouring my tall cup of water this morning, the cafeteria lady says, "Just the cup?"

I ignored her.

As I finished pouring filling the cup I picked my head up and she again said, "Just the cup?"

I was confused. "Huh?"

"The cup costs 10 cents."

I almost went off right there, but I didn't. Was there a reason for me to even be the least bit thrown off by the fact that she wanted to charge me a dime for something I had grown to identify as free? Not really, but still.

Nobody stopped me any of the other 200 times in the last 2 weeks that I went in and grabbed a cup like I owned them. I guess the moral of the story is that I have made out like a bandit in my first 2 and a half weeks at the new job. I've taken at least $2.30 in free merch.

And I'm not even mentioning the Oyster Crackers that Mike and I take every afternoon on the way back from lunch. Yeah, they're for the people who get soup, but we take them anyway. They make a hell of a mid-afternoon snack.

It gives my mind the impression that I'm actually eating. They aren't filling. And on top of that they're kind of salty so they can't be good for you which automatically makes them 100x better.

I sincerely hope that this is the post that people see when they come to determine if they should vote for me in the Suckiest Blog Tournament. By the time those people get to the Oyster Crackers story they'll be so confused as to how this is a sports blog their ears will start to bleed.

Speaking of the Suckiest Blog Bracket, my region - The Jealous of Newspaper Guys Region - kicks off tomorrow so don't forget to vote for against me. Or don't. It would be nice to win something.

Oh yeah - I have no images because at the new job Google Image Search is blocked. So I'm sorry that you don't get a picture of a cup of water or oyster crackers or something else I mentioned.
