I want the bacon!

so, go to one of your Yelp places. :D: Bacon is beyond fattening & you realize this. If I had bacon my size 6 would be a 16.

I eat turkey bacon. Unless it is at one of the places on Yelp, then they normally use the good stuff! Moderation is key to maintaining that size 6!

Exactly the sizes between which Little Wallaby has traveled, from larger to smaller.

I've been making Xtranormal Videos about the Stupid Office Tricks at my previous place of employment.

Watched the one on sick days too, and I'm sure glad to know you're not working there anymore.

Get this. I made them a cookie cake on Monday shaped like a heart. I put it on the table in the lunch room for all to eat. At the end of the day, no one had touched it!

I give up.

Studies on office theft indicate it would have disappeared if you'd cut it and maybe taken the first piece. Goofy's not far off with "too purty to eat." ;)

Eat the first piece so they know it doesn't have ex-lax in it? :twisted:

The inspiration for Don (the boss) in the above videos took any food that wasn't labeled, even if he knew who's it was, which he did, because there were about 10 employees.

I caught him eating my desert one day, and he just grinned this smug grin and replied "I don't see your name on it..."

His "reasoning" was that he was merely providing the natural consequence for people forgetting to label their food... and he was the boss so I just had to learn to label everything super-prominently.

And that's not even getting into the time they took the break room fridge hostage due to a dispute regarding the coffee machine... or the time they tried to penalize me for bringing my own hot chocolate mix instead of buying it from their machine.

I gotta make more videos yet.

Did this person's office have their name on the door? If not, you should've moved yourself in, started working and said "Well I didn't see your name on it".

I sympathize.....I just got out Stupid Office Tricks hell. Ahhh....to finally have control again is a good thing. All I can say is ditch the butter and just keep an eye out for the person taking your things. When I worked at my firm, we were so small and all such good friends that we shared everything, but I can imagine how pissed I'd be if I brought in butter and someone nicked it without asking me first. Just breath deep and try to get past it.

Oh...and please send me some of that cookie.....I like people who bring in food for the office! :)

What office? I was elbow to elbow with him. At the time our Dev Room doubled as the breakroom, not that anyone took breaks, but it was where they kept the minifridge and microwave. I couldn't back up from my desk if he was backed up from his, or if one of the aformentioned appliances was open behind me.

When we moved locations we got a separate breakroom but it had no fridge because they gave the cube to my boss as his personal fridge, so he could hold our lunches hostage by being on the phone and locking his office door. *Mutters.*

When we finally GOT a full sized in teh break-room (which was then doubling as a server room... such a bad combo,) is when the coffee machine dispute occurred.
