Hostile Work Environment
Okay. I’m beginning to think someone in my office is secretly experimenting with inducing obesity via various desserts left in the office kitchen.
First off – there is my boss who INSISTS on supporting Krispy Kreme fundraisers ALL THE TIME. Remember the five donuts I inhaled in ONE DAY last week? Yep, that was him helping some local charity, while I corrupted my “reasonable weight gain” goals.
Then there was the co-worker who brought in gourmet caramely-chocolatey-graham-crackery treats that took me a whole WEEK to finally eat all of. No one seemed to help me.
But the worst offender is my office manager. His wife makes the best dessert type treats on this PLANET. She makes them for various church and charity functions and ALWAYS has “some leftover.” MrZ and I were at their house one night and MrZ can attest to the goodness of her desserts as he ate TWO helpings of her faux eclairs.
Well this week? She made brownies that I SWEAR are some of the most delicious bits of goodness I’ve ever eaten. They are moist and chocolatey and yummy and OHMIGOD-I’VE EATEN FOUR OF THEM TODAY.
Isn’t there a LAW against how much culinary temptation can exist in an office before it is considered UNHEALTHY And therefore DANGEROUS and therefore WRONG TO TORTURE EMPLOYEES? Well, there should be.
Bah. I’m going to go eat another brownie.
send them over here to Chattanooga! We need culinary goodness in our office environment.
I am always finding these delicious-sounding food posts right when I’m starving at the end of the day. Lord, what I wouldn’t do for a brownie. They need to hurry up on that emailing 3-d objects technology.
You just made me have a craving for donuts. Sigh.
I’ll take any leftovers. I work w/ a bunch of skinny chicks who are always on a diet. I mean, dang, a donut now & then ain’t going to kill you.
BTW, I read your amazon wish list & I have 1 of the CD’s you want. If you would like a burned copy, email me.
These people are pure evil
Did you know that you are adorable when you are eating?
Send some here!
And you are adorable.
what’s a “faux” eclairs? A doughnut in disguise?
You should have been at my work today – not only did an employee bring in 2 dozen Krispy Kremes, but a gourmet coffee service brought in 3 kinds of coffee complete with 2 more dozen doughnuts (glazed and chocolate), and the marketing lady brought in 2 dozen of these gigantic assorted cookies.
Our office was a madhouse today because everyone had ODed on sugar….
mmmm…. if you haven’t ever tried the Ghirardelli brownie mix with the extra chocolate in it… well, you should. It can be a bit tricky to find in the grocery store, but well worth the search.
I put peanut butter chips on top and oooo boy, hold me back.
gooey and moist and endlessly yummy.
browwwwwwwwwwwnies.
