And you think YOU are having a tough day...
My office is having a potluck today and I have to sit here and smell "Beer and sausage soup", "BBQ meatballs", "Rice and veggies", "sausage and peppers" and a few other dishes cooking all around the office. And I still have two hours!

So I don't want to hear any complaints today about bad your day is going, it can't even be close to sitting around smelling all this food and not being able to eat it. x(

Oh, I brought the bread and butter :rofl:

1. Just be sure to remind everyone that Anna NS choked on her own vomit
and that'll put a damper on everyone for a few hours.

btw, what kind of office gets to cook food for lunch. I'm self employed so everyday is potluck.

4. We are an electrical control company
I am an engineer here and we design and build electrical panels. Once in a while someone comes up with some good idea about having food..lol. We do Fat Tuesday too. During the summer we bring out the grill and cook out on the dock.

It's not too bad of a place to work and gain weight. :)

5. Oh yeah, forgot about those
I should have brought some and sold them. It would have paid for my two loafs of bread and butter.

3. I have been thinking about my boy scout camping trip
this weekend and the food we are having.

While the kids are making tacos and burritos for themselves, we adults are eating rice and beans with chicken.

7. I remember the year I spent in the Boy Scouts
I never had good food to cook at camp. I was the world's worst scout and they kicked me out after a year because I never got any badges other than my scout and camping badge. Plus I got busted smoking in my tent one time...lol.

9. Lol, naw
The leader basically said that he knew I didn't really have an interest in the scouts and maybe it was best if I quit. I was just there because some friends were in and I thought it would be cool to go camping.

I didn't mind being "kicked out". I was kicked off the wrestling team and also as an alter boy around that time too. Catholic schools are too picky..LOL

10. I have scouts who are the same way
only there because of their friends. but it gives them all something to do and they have a great time doing it.

12. It's killing me
It's pissing me off because no one believes I baked the bread and churned the butter myself. x(
