Anyone who knows me knows that I have slight case of attention deficit disorder. Miraculously, I have survived 23 years without being prescribed medication for it! I've always known that I can't sit still for very long. I'm not exactly sure how I survived 3 years working in an office, a bank, and now another office (although I'm usually out in with clients)!
At any rate there are a few pros to working in a county office:
At any rate there are a few pros to working in a county office:
1) controlled climate/environment (a/c in the summer, heat in the winter)
2) office hours
3) FLEX days (one day off every other week; mine happens to be Mondays)
Here is one con to working in a county office:
1) SOME CO WORKER HAS BEEN JILTING MY SNACKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I went to Target and bought some trail mix. Like an idiot, I left the trail mix on my desk. Imagine my surprise when I looked over at it a few days later and it looked a little "low". I assumed that maybe I consumed more than I imagined. Nah, that wasn't the case. I didn't touch the trail mix for 3 days, yet its amount continued to decrease. I came to the shocking conclusion that another social worker was sticking their grubby, filthy, social working hands allllll up in my trail mix. HORRORS.
Another incident involves my cookies. If you know I have ADD, you know I love cookies. I try to LIMIT my serving sizes, and once again was surprised when a WHOLE row of cookies had been consumed without my knowledge.
I am truly a nice person. I promise. I wouldn't mind passing along my trail mix. Or my cookies. Or my cereal. Or my red licorice. Or....WOW! I'm ending that food list. In essence, I share and I love to share.
But seriously: even if I knew who the culprit was I don't think I would confront them. "Hey, Betty, I know you're eating my chips. You better knock it off." Only to have Betty say, "Yeah, right, psycho. I don't want your junk."
I don't even know where I'm going with this blog. I'm just venting. But what do you think of me laying of laxatives nicely transformed into chocolates? The culprit will consume said "chocolates" and will make their way to the bathroom in a manner of time. Hm. But that may lead to work place violence. I think work place violence is against the rules. Ah, well.

You crack me up! haha
Re laxatives... No one would ever know.... haha
You think like my cousin Gloria Tuminello. Many years ago she was a student at CLC but it was actually called Western Apostolic Bible College back then. The guys planned a snow trip and did not include the girls. My cousin wanted to go so she sought revenge. She baked a big batch of chocolate chip cookies but used chocolate laxative pieces instead of chocolate chips. She later found out the guys ate all the cookies and then defaced the snow. LOL Guess you could leave laxatives out for your thief, but then you may suffer some stinky (pun intended) consequences.
Buy sugar free cookies or candy. That's a little nicer than laxatives, but it will cure the thief all the same....or at least get them to the point where they will be taking smaller portions. :P
Boobytrap the trail mix! Fill the bag with dry cat food! Meow!
Hey girl! How are you??? Thank you for the nice comment you left on my blog! We enjoyed the company every time Miesha came!! It was fun!
I love it Chandra. But another idea (if you don't want work place violence, but them to stop nonetheless) is to bake cookies, yummy looking cookies, but substitute salt for the sugar. They will NEVER, EVER want another cookie from your stash. And with Christmas coming up...you could have a yummy looking display of cookies...
Thanks for the comments everyone! Anonymous, the dried cat food sounds pretty funny! Bekki, salty cookies could definitely do the trick!
