  • Danger, danger! Us workplace warning!

    Sorry for the dramatics!

    Today, in the US (maybe elsewhere as well) it is Administrative Professionals Day (Formerly known as "Secretaries Day.)

    I have been at work for over an hour and already the cakes and cookies have been coming out of the woodwork to celebrate. (I have no idea where they stay between holidays!)

    Luckily, I brought a lunch bag full of cheese and hardboiled eggs to fight them off with!

    Good luck to the rest of you out there in the cruel, cruel workplace world.

    Watch out for those carb traps!

    Pretend that:

    - the coworker who made them at home has a dog, and she allowed the dog to lick the cake batter spoon in between stirrings.

    - there's a lady who works at the supermarket bakery who has eczema that she tries to hide with long sleeves, but as soon as her bosses are out of sight she scratches like the dickens.

    - the dishwasher at the bakery only rinsed the last dairy icing bowl, and left a rotting crust, which went unnoticed by the next baker.

    - that one pesky co-worker is going all project-mayhem with the cookie dough and you don't even want to know what was in that turkey baster that she used for her extra special ingredient.

    - that one of your co-workers who suffers from allergies accidentally sneezed on the most beautiful dessert display when no one was looking, but felt that it was too pretty to be thrown out.

    - someone, between the processing food factories to the stockers to the bakers to the retailers, didn't quite wipe properly and there's a new strain of gastroenteritis on the horizon... and it lives inside a brownie.
