Of Oatmeal and Keurigs

Our office has the fantastic invention known as the Keurig. A piping hot beverage of your choice virtually ready in seconds. Decaf, Regular, Morning, Spring, Hot Chocolate, Tea, the options are seemingly endless. However, this little fantasy world of instantaneous gratification is rudely interrupted when the unfortunate person gets stuck with the flashing button signaling that the water tank is empty. Somehow, I still haven't figured this one out, that unfortunate person always ends up being none other than yours truly. I've already refilled it twice today...and I've only been here for 2.5 hours.

One day, while shopping in one of my favorite stores, Target, I bought one of those mondo, ginormous boxes of instant oatmeal. I think there was like 34 packs in there. Granted I use two each time...so it's really only 17. But it would seem that was a very smart move. Because whenever lunch rolls around, I realize I've once again forgotten to find some sort of sustenance at home to bring to the office. And I'm not all that fond of going out to Wendy's, or Subway...so I turn to my stash of instant oatmeal. I think I've had it for lunch 3 out of 4 days for the last three weeks. haha. Good thing I love it, eh?
