It's not like I'm looking for major perks here...

...but one would think that while working for Cadbury-Schweppes, a major candy supplier, that one would somehow be able to satisfy a chocolate craving. One would also think that given that they make seltzer and that the Snapple division even has its very own brand of bottled water (Snap2O), I'd somehow be able to get some unsweetened beverages here too.

*facepalms* Wow. That's just amazing. That you can't, I mean.

I work for a pharmaceutical company. And ya know... I'm rather glad that I don't get free samples...

I'm not even demanding free stuff. A candy machine would be fine.

you didn't hear about the office assistant who ordered the last machine? it was a contract with Mars-M&M; the machine was installed and destroyed the same day. then they tarred, feathered, and fired her ass.

Odd... I'm just annoyed in general at the lack of unsweetened beverages. My beverage of choice is iced tea and finding completely unsweetened iced tea is a serious trial and finding unsweetened green tea (my preference) is almost impossible. I have no idea why so many people will only drink sickly sweet drinks. I dearly love sweets, but not to drink.

I even like sweet drinks! But not for hydration, thanks.

Something else I've been meaning to ask you since Easter is coming up: Do you think you could get my pet rabbits contracts as Cadbury Bunnies? ;)

*shakes her head sadly* I'm afraid I can'y recommend working here as a contractor right now. However, if I see anything come up on the job boards I'll let you all know. ;)

No...that would be logical thinking. Companies don't think logically, and besides....I think that they all have a secret plot going in which the absence of product produces an unsatiable craving ;) Sorry, i'm quite evil today :)

apropos of nothing...

Claude Bolling's Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano is one of my favorite pieces to play, ever. :)
