Staying Caffeinated and Addicted to Diet Coke
Written by Andy Komack on July 25th, 2007This goes under the categories of silly, too much free time?, staying caffeinated, I drink too much Diet Coke, why haven’t I taken those cans in for redemption yet?, is this the best use of an intern’s time?, and does SEO really take a lot of time? (it does, and most people I know in the industry work late into the night)
The first thing I do every morning is go to the fridge and open up a Diet Coke. That’s my coffee. Another 4 to 6 cans a day is the norm.
For the past 2 years I’ve been meaning to take all of the Diet Coke cans out of the office. After procrastinating for so long, it just became a joke in the office that I had all of the cans piled up in my office.
Showing this pile of cans to visitors in the office also produced a nice chuckle.
But, being good SEOs and online marketers, we figured we could do something with these incredibly valuable assets before cashing them in.
I’m not sure if spelling “KoMarketing” in Diet Coke cans was really the best way to use those empty containers of liquid gold, but it seemed like a decent enough idea.
It was fun anyway.
What do you do to stay awake and alert?
I know that my friend Jason from Vroom Foods would say use these gems…
Hi Andy! I read it, got a chuckle, and subscribed. As a reader, I thought it was funny. As a mom, I was slightly horrified! Do you know how bad that stuff is for you? The acid in it eats away at your stomach lining. My recipe for staying alert during the day: get plenty of sleep, eat nutritious food, and exercise daily. (But you know this.) (Bet you’re sorry you sent this one to me!) Love, Mom

But… this was good too. Sounds like your intern is getting experience he can really put on the old resume
