Rising up for lower prices

[jeriendhal]

I work on the sixth floor of a seven floor building. Every floor has a soda and/or snack machine, all of which presumably are serviced by the same company. The soda machine on my floor charges $0.75 for a coke, while the machine on the floor above me charges $0.65 (and offers snacks besides). So in order to save ten cents, I must march upstairs and then back down to my desk, thus satisfying my craving for cheap sugary drinks and alleviating the guilt thereof with a little exercise all in one swell foop.

Of course if I really wanted to save money, I would just bring an extra soda from home every day...

I hate you both.

Then again, I already knew my company was run by a bunch of cheap b*st*rds.

Heh. My company furnishes sodas, waters, and coffee....and is otherwise damned cool. But then again, that's easier to do when your company is only about 10 folks strong.

SInce I'm feeling particularly evil at the moment, we're also getting *two* company outings this year: our traditional (3 years running) Lord of the Rings Premier, followed by home-cooked dinner at the boss's house.....and because the boss wants to see it too, Matrix: Revolutions.

But hey -- stability rocks!

Hate you too, Jim. :P Free sodas and flicks would be nice, OTOH, I'd rather not have your commute.
