Gimme my eggnog latte!

How to get a free Pumpkin Spice latte:

1. Two weeks before Eggnog lattes are due to be out, start asking, "you get the eggnog lattes yet?" in manner of Potamus from Harvey Birdman.

2. Repeat daily.

3. Then on the 31st, get the clerk behind the counter to admit they have eggnog in the back, but "they're not supposed to tell you that yet." However, clerk knows you by now and offers to sneak one for you. But then evil manager says no to early eggnog lattes so clerk sneaks free pumpkin latte for you.

Hmm. I need to figure out a place to go after work since I have no candy at home.

Ha! I am impressed by your skills.

You're probably lucky that the clerk is amused by you, rather than annoyed. Get the wrong person behind the counter and you'd probably have been beaten with a coffee grinder by now.

Yeah, and I'm actually not pushy about it and know how to take a "no." It's more joking around with them.

I had pumpkin spice at Starbucks today. Hmmm...now to try for an eggnog.

So. Good.

Hmmmm....a chai latte would sure go good right about now. And lookee here! All the stuff I need to whip up an almost authentic Starbucks one is right here in my office (I haven't yet figured out how to steam the milk here instead of just heating it in the microwave...)

But I already had one today. So I probably shouldn't. But it would be so good...and I could skip the decaf one I'd normally have before bed tonight, right???

Get it! (I'm such a pusher.) And it was too busy at work yesterday - I never made it over to Starbucks for my eggnog! Am going in about 20 minutes, even if I have to drop something.

Hah! I made one and am even now sitting and sipping it in my office. I logged on to AIM briefly, looking for you or any of the other wienerdogs so you could tell me to do it BUT NO ONE WAS ONLINE!

That was very disturbing. The very fabric of my existence has been rent by having no wienerdogs online in the middle of a workday afternoon! What the hell?

Karen's at a conference until next week, the wienerbitch, and I've been really busy at work. nanda never graces us with her presence anymore - too busy "writing" and Jojo's probably passed out in the back of a car somewhere.

I think I'm in love with my stolen Elis icon.

BWAH!

I went on a random icon stealing spree one day. Went through all wienerdogandyak icons and stole at will. Me thinks I need to do so again...

Mmm, Starbucks. I need to go to Starbucks...
