I’m still here at work. Mr. BIL had that off-site meeting and called at 5:30 p.m. to see if I’d be willing to stay late since I was late getting in this morning. I told him I’d stay ’til 6:30 p.m.
It is 6:26 p.m. now.
So last week I brought in a bag of candy for my co-worker Lori to put in her candy jar. It was a bag of Hersey’s Kissables, which is the candy-coated mini Hershey’s kisses. Normally Lori has M&Ms in her jar. On Friday, she was out. So just before she left on Thursday evening, she dumped the Kissables into the empty jar and left.
Arriving at work there were still a handful of Kissables in the jar. That NEVER happens.
Apparently the candy-eaters were complaining all day Friday about the awful candy that Lori put in her jar, and put the blame on various secretaries and paralegals that NEVER have anything to do with Lori’s candy jar. Somehow I missed the conversations – I guess I was so busy that I never went over there (and why go over there if Lori is out?).
So Lori and I are now going to play a joke on the negative-minded candy-eaters. Lori is going to buy another bag and put it in there. So that I can be a witness to the complaints. And then I’ve been authorized to go on a rampage in the office against those who are anti-Kissable candy. We can’t WAIT.
My only thought is “PEOPLE ARE DIRTY”… Kissables and M&M’s are all “open candy” which means people and their dirty little fingers and hands are all over the candy that other people may want to eath.. Ewwww… **Ace vomits a little in his mouth** I am responsible for the candy in my office and bet your bottom dollar it is fully wrapped candy. It reminds of the time when I had a party and put open M&M’s on the back of the toilet just to see how many people would eat them… lets just say… it would have needed to be refilled by the next party. People are gross and having open candy for all is against my religion.
Enjoy your bout of Mono! 😀
Ace, not to worry – her jar is actually an old fashioned candy dispenser – the only candy that is touched by human hands is that which comes out of the dispenser at that particular time.
Candy (or open food of ANY kind) in the bathroom? GROSS!!!
*phew*… I was so nervous for your office…
Candy in the bathroom… FUNNY!
What’s really odd is how people will COMPLAIN about FREE food in the office! Work life is so much like The Office–that’s why I love the series too!
