there's nothing quite like the smell of bad milk on your eyebrows...

This week at work I am running the department. It's a little scary, but mostly familiar. And now, for a story.

So today at work, at roughly 8:15am, I was in the coolroom restacking the milk crates and what not. While I was filling earlier, I found some out of date milk, so I was about to throw it into the waste. I was quite tired as it was still rather early and I am by no means a morning person, plus I went to bed way too late the night before. On top of that, the bed I am currently sleeping in is a total disaster. Usually my reflexes at work are quite good, they sort of have to be to avoid youghurt explosions. But like I said, I was tired. All of a sudden, 3 litres of you'll love coles lite had slipped from my fingers, and before I had even realised it was all over my face! I was quite confused. But we must be brave in these situations and not cry. It really would have been a funny thing to see... if anyone was lucky enough to be watching. It felt like a cartoon. It was a very big splash. I guess that is what happens when milk is dropped from head height... it bounces back! And of course it got everything I was wearing soaking wet in that 'oh so yucky this milk went bad 2 days ago' kind of way. But yes, my eyebrows... it was the worst!

This is a perfect illustration of how much I resent that "you'll love coles" brand. You know, I actually avoid shopping at Coles so I don't have to see their stupid brand on the shelves? And when I'm forced to shop there, I intentionally buy the more expensive brands just so I don't have to have some kid they pulled off the street looking back at me whenever I try to pour some milk onto my cereal. As if mornings weren't hard enough to face as it was! Stupid kid. I bet he didn't even know where milk came from until he posed for that ad. And what's with the stupid quotes?! "I love milk with, it' so nutritious and tasty." Really? And all the while I thought that milk sales were a direct attempt by the US government to control our minds. Do they really think I'm so stupid that I need advice from some idiot posing next to a cow? Aaarrgh!!!

So did you love it? NO! I didn't think so, so why do they keep insisting that you will?

I think the CEO of Coles needs some you-know-what splashed all over his you-know-brow!

Huurmph.
